    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Establishes a method for the detection and enumeration of intestinal enterococci in water by membrane filtration. Intended especially for examination of drinking water, and water from swimming pools and other disinfected or clean waters. The method can, however be applied to all types of water, except when large amounts of suspended matter or interfering microorganisms are present. Suitable particularly for examining large volumes of water containing only a few intestinal enterococci.
