What is Escherichia coli?

Coliform group is not a taxonomic name of bacteriology, but a term in the field of sanitary bacteria. It does not represent a certain bacterium or a certain genus, but refers to a group of bacteria with certain characteristics related to fecal pollution. These bacteria are not completely consistent in biochemistry and serology. It is generally believed that the bacteria of this flora can include Escherichia coli, Citrobacter, Klebsiella aerogenes and Enterobacter cloacae.

Coliform group is put forward as an indicator of fecal contamination, and the detection of coliform group mainly indicates whether there is fecal contamination in food. The number of coliforms indicates the degree of fecal pollution and also reflects the harm to human health. Feces are human intestinal excreta, including the feces of healthy people and the feces of intestinal patients or carriers. Therefore, in addition to normal bacteria, there are some intestinal pathogens (such as Salmonella and Shigella) in feces. Therefore, if there is fecal pollution in food, it can be inferred that there is the possibility of intestinal pathogenic bacteria pollution in food, which lurks the threat of food poisoning and epidemic situation and must be regarded as a potential danger to human health.
