Other coliform

What is it? Other coliforms consist of bacteria other than fecal coliforms (E. Coli). Some of these bacteria can be found in soil, surface water, and on your skin.

Why is it important? They are typically harmless to humans when consumed in small quantities.

What does it mean? Other coliforms are measured in a lab, and results are obtained in 24 hours. The lab provides special containers and teaches you how to ensure that your sample isn't contaminated.
