Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bacteria Fermenting Lactose and Their Significance in Water Analysis
The bacteriological analysis of water is an indirect and quantitative one. Specific pathogenic organisms are not sought nor are they likely to be detected even in a dangerous water. It devolves upon the analyst to interpret his findings and particular emphasis is placed on the determination of the presence of the colon group. The investigator and analyst should therefore be thoroughly acquainted with the characteristics, peculiarities, and idiosyncrasies of the organisms in the group, particularly with refer ence to their distribution, viability, and differential reactions.
