Abstract
A fluorescent antibody method for detection of fecal coliform pollution in water is reported. Detection of Escherichia coli of fecal origin by this method was compared to IMVIC typing and to detection by the E C Broth method. Reliability of this method was tested by reaction of specific E. coli antisera with heterologous bacterial species and with isolates from polluted waste water and unpolluted water and soil sources. This method was found to offer the advantage of greater rapidity over conventional water quality tests, without loss of reliability.
