Q

total coliform

A

are a group of closely related, mostly harmless bacteria that live in soil and water as well as the guts of animals. The extent to which total coliforms are present in the water source can indicate the general quality of the water and the likelihood that the water is contaminated with fecal matter. The presence of absence of total coliform bacteria is the drinking water standard.
