a bacterium allied to a group found in the gut
A group of related bacteria whose presence in water may indicate contamination by disease-causing microorganisms
a species of bacteria that are not harmful but which when found in water, may indicate the presence of disease-causing pathogens which thrive in the same environmental conditions as the coliform species
