Pengujian kualitas air berdasarkan Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) menggunakan alat-alat khusus yang hanya ada di laboratorium dan harus dioperasikan oleh seorang laboran menyebabkan keterbatasan data yang diperlukan karena memerlukan biaya yang tinggi. Oleh karena itu diperlukan metode alternatif yang lebih terjangkau dan mudah digunakan dalam uji kualitas air. Dengan menggunakan Test Strip sebagai alat untuk menguji kontaminasi bakteri Escherichia coli (E.Coli) dan total coliform pada sampel air bersih. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana kemampuan penggunaan alat Test Strip diterapkan dalam metode alternatif untuk uji kualitas air yang tidak berdasarkan standar SNI. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif eksploratif, dimana hasil penelitian berdasarkan pengamatan yang dialami oleh penulis selama menggunakan Test Strip. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa Test Strip merupakan alat yang mudah digunakan, terjangkau dan dapat digunakan sebagai alat edukasi mandiri dalam menghasilkan informasi kualitas air bersih dalam uji mikroba pada sampel air, tetapi untuk mendapatkan hasil yang akurat tidak dianjurkan untuk menggunakan alat Test Strip. Penggunaan Test Strip lebih sesuai digunakan untuk kondisi yang cepat atau mendesak sehingga para pengguna dapat melakukan tindakan preventif awal yang lebih cepat terhadap adanya kontaminan bakteri pada air bersih yang biasa dikonsumsi.

Escherichia coli O157:H7 ( E. coli O157:H7) is a dangerous foodborne pathogen, mainly found in beef, milk, fruits, and their products, causing harm to human health or even death. Therefore, the detection of E. coli O157:H7 in food is particularly important. In this paper, we report a lateral flow immunoassay strip (LFIS) based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) material labeling antigen as a fluorescent probe for the rapid detection of E. coli O157:H7. The detection sensitivity of the strip is 105 CFU/mL, which is 10 times higher than that of the colloidal gold test strip. This method has good specificity and stability and can be used to detect about 250 CFU of E. coli O157:H7 successfully in 25 g or 25 mL of beef, jelly, and milk. AIE-LFIS might be valuable in monitoring food pathogens for rapid detection.

Milk is an excellent medium for the growth of many bacteria. This study aimed to determine antibiotic profiling and thermal inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli isolated from raw milk of Dharan. Total viable count, total Staphylococcal count, and total coliform count were carried out by conventional microbiological methods. Identification was done on the basis of Gram staining and biochemical tests. The antibiotic susceptibility test of the isolates carried out by the modified Kirby-Baur disc diffusion method. Thermal inactivation of S. aureus and E. coli were carried out by subjecting to thermal treatment in a water bath. Total plate count ranged from 204×104 CFU/mL to 332×105 CFU/mL. Total staphylococcal count and total coliform count ranged from 14×105 CFU/mL to 8×106 CFU/mL and 11×104 CFU/mL to 3×106 CFU/mL respectively. S. aureus showed an increasing resistance patterns towards Ampicillin, Cefotixin, Carbenicillin and Cefotaxime. Ciprofloxacin, Erythromycin, Amikacin, Gentamycin, Azithromycin, and Chloramphenicol were found to be effective against S. aureus. All the E. coli isolates were resistant to Ampicillin and least resistant to Cefotixin. Chloramphenicol, Amikacin, Azithromycin, and Nalidixic acid were found highly effective to E. coli. The D-values for S. aureus at 56°C, 58°C and 60°C were 1.36 min, 1.19 min, and 1.09 min respectively. The Z-value was 14.92°C. While D-values were obtained as 0.98 min, 0.75 min, and 0.57 min for E. coli at 56° C, 58° C and 60° C respectively, and Z-value was 9.75° C. Hence, S. aureus was found to be more heat resistant than E. coli.

A total of fifteen pre-packaged fruit salad samples containing pineapple, water melon, pawpaw and cucumber sold in the Lagos State University, Ojo Campus was analyzed using culture techniques for its microbial qualities. Five bacteria genera isolates obtained are Bacillus spp, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas spp, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus and the three fungi genera isolates are Aspergillus species, Penicillium species, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Escherichia coli had the highest frequency of (40%) followed by Streptococcus with (20%), Staphylococcus, Bacillus, Pseudomonas has the same frequency of (13%). The total viable count was in the range of 1.6 × 105 cfu/g to 5.65 × 105 cfu/g while the total coliform count ranged from 1.0 × 105 to 3.3 × 105 cfu/g. The fungal count ranged from 1.5 × 105 to 3.4 × 105 cfu/g. This study revealed that fruit salads in the studied area needs proper sanitation practice during processing in order to avoid risks associated with the consumption of contaminated fruits for the consumers.

Fish sausages are prepared foods that have a high nutritional value, but that is the weakness of this commodity is rapidly decaying nature. Bacterial pathogens that must be avoided include Escherichia coli. These bacteria are gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile spores are not. The purpose of this study is to calculate the total coliforms and E. coli in fish sausage coating of fish protein myofibrils Black Marlin (Makaira indica) during storage at room temperature (28–29°C), and refrigerator temperature (10–13°C). The method used is descriptive method, which is a study conducted to analyze an individual, the state, or the symptoms of a particular group.

Natural water distillation can destroy and/or inactivate microorganisms that are sensitive to heat and ultraviolet radiation (UV). This method is currently used to provide fresh water in ships and in the desalination of brackish water. For the development of this research, a pilot-scale solar still was built and installed in the southern region of Brazil, in order to assess its efficiency in water disinfection, which was based on the most probable number (MPN) of total coliforms and  Escherichia coli, in addition to the DNA copy number of human adenovirus type 5 (HAdV-5) in raw, undistilled samples and in treated distilled water. Results showed that the distillation process removed 100% of total coliform and Escherichia coli and 4.5 log (99.997%) of HAdV-5, which meets the microbiological standards for drinking water according to national Brazilian regulations, as well as USEPA and HEALTH CANADA requirements.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and an immunoblot procedure for detection and isolation of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) from beef, and to correlate the presence of STEC in beef with E. coli and total coliform counts. A total of 120 samples of boneless beef supplied to a meat processor in southern Ontario were tested for the presence of STEC, E. coli, and total coliforms. Following enrichment in modified tryptic soy broth, samples were screened for Shiga toxin (Stx) by a Stx-ELISA and a Vero cell assay (VCA). Samples that were positive in the Stx-ELISA were subjected to the Stx-immunoblot for STEC isolation. Overall, 33.3% of samples were positive in the VCA, and 34.2% were positive in the Stx-ELISA. There was almost complete agreement between the Stx-ELISA and the VCA results (kappa = 0.98). The sensitivity and specificity of the Stx-ELISA with respect to the VCA were 100% and 98.75%, respectively. STEC were isolated by the Stx-immunoblot from 87.8% of the samples that were positive in the Stx-ELISA. The STEC isolates belonged to 19 serotypes, with serotype O113:H21 accounting for 10 of 41 isolates. No STEC of serotype O157:H7 were isolated. There was a significant correlation between E. coli counts and total coliform counts (Spearman correlation coefficient = 0.68, P &lt; 0.01). The E. coli count was positively correlated with detection of STEC by both the Stx-ELISA and the VCA (P &lt; 0.01).
