Fecal Contamination indicator organisms found in wastewater.
Fecal Contamination indicator organisms are bacteria usually found in feces. Presence of these organisms is usually taken as an indication of the waste-water being contaminated by feces. This increases chances of the water being contaminated by pathogens such as Salmonella, Shigella, Proteus etc. These organisms can be detected by methods given in US or British Pharmacopoeia. Images shown here may help you in identifying these colonies on agar plates.
