Fecal coliforms

clean water or lower standard of regulations in water tables. The greatest risk of infection comes from ingesting water that has been contaminated with feces, human or animal2. Wastewater runoff from animal agriculture farms may be a major source of fecal microorganism contamination, mainly dangerous waterborne…

I agree with the late Thomas Disch’s a Law Against Dogs that these dogs need to be stopped. Its unfair to everyone including pup-owners whom cross their fecal matter. These dilemmas often occur at parks and apartment complexes. Even if the waste damages parks and can bring health issues to us and other animals. Luckily, Canis familiaris lovers have gotten comfortable with their fur babies spreading their retched poo everywhere. Due to the nonchalant attitude towards pet leashing and minimal…

The contamination of drinking water has frequently been blamed for the transmission of infectious diseases that have caused serious illness. Bacteria like “Fecal coliform and fecal streptococci were detected in 87.9% and 57.6% of 33 well water samples” (Algahtani 3). The presence of the two bacterium's: fecal coliform and fecal streptococci can cause potential sickness depending on the level. And the bacteriological quality of water has been an issue, especially in areas where groundwater…

5- 1) µm and in length between (2-4) µm however, they are either a parasite or live independently they are found in all living things and in all environments. Some bacteria in drinking water can cause disease such as salmonella, total coliform (including fecal coliform and E.coli), Shigella, Legionella, and Campylobacter and “their presence indicates that the water may be contaminated by human or animal wastes”. Some bacteria break down organic matter and play an important ecological role, other…

supply was poor. The water’s quality didn’t approve over the years to follow. From studies dating back from 1969 to 2000, they stated that the water quality was poor due to the heavy pollution by the industries. The water had “the presence of fecal coliform bacteria, low dissolved oxygen, plant nutrients, oils, and toxic substances” (Flint Water Crisis, 2017).The water was never treated properly and until 2007, the residents were still using Detroit’s drinking water as their primary and…

BACTERIOPHAGE MEDIATED PHYTOREMEDIATION Wastewater is any water that is against the usage by human . Wastewater is the result of domestic, commercial, industrial or agricultural activities. After the use water is returned to the environment in a different condition, usually as dirty water (wastewater).It is never returned in the same way as it was withdrawn. Wastewater produced by households or communities is also called municipal wastewater or sewage. (Tilley) Effluent refers to the sewage or…

Doggy Doodoo. All you need to know. A dog is man’s best friend. People all around the world love their dogs, but they do not love to pick up after them. Do they actually know how much harm they are causing? Water cleanliness today is going down the drain. In America, it’s recorded that 40% of the rivers and 46% of the lakes are polluted. These bodies of water are considered unhealthy for swimming, fishing or aquatic life (Rinkesh). A person may wonder why, and question what the causes could be.…

Enterococcus faecium, was used to detect the presence of this pathogen in the bay. The detection of esp was compared with the level of fecal indicator bacteria which includes Enterococci, fecal coliforms and Escherichia Coli. The times in which contamination coincided with elevated indicator bacteria levels placed a causality on human impact (Lindsey 2016). Fecal bacteria levels were obtained using the standard membrane filtration methods. For the esp analysis, water as filtered onto a…

hypothesis, samples of four of the six unknown bacteria were streaked onto plates of Mannitol Salt agar, MacConkey agar, and Eosin Methylene Blue agar to examine their growth on the media. Two other unknowns were streaked on Chromogenic agar to determine coliform status and look for the presence of E. coli. All six species were streaked on nutrient agar as a control. The additional unknown #53 was isolated on a MacConkey agar plate, gram stained, and subjected to the IMViC series of tests. A…
