Objective:
To compare between rapid detection method of enzyme substrate technique and multiple-tube fermentation technique in water coliform bacteria detection.
Methods:
Using inoculated and real water samples to compare the equivalence and false positive rate between two methods.
Results:
Results demonstrate that enzyme substrate technique shows equivalence with multiple-tube fermentation technique (P = 0.059), false positive rate between the two methods has no statistical difference.
Conclusion:
It is suggested that enzyme substrate technique can be used as a standard method for water microbiological safety evaluation.
