What is morphology of Ecoli?
What is the colony morphology of Klebsiella bacteria?
Does rainwater contain coliforms bacteria?
Coliform bacteria is associated with fecal matter, and since rain does not come in contact with fecal matter before hitting the ground, it should not contain coliform bacteria.
What is the Excessive numbers of other bacteria in a sample that can interfere with counting coliform is called?
The excessive numbers of other bacteria in a sample that can interfere with counting coliform is called bacterial interference or bacterial overgrowth. This can lead to inaccurate results when trying to quantify coliform bacteria in the sample.
Coliform bacteria are the most difficult to distinguish from the ss pathogen?
Proteus
What health risks are associated with the presence of coliform bacteria?
Coliform bacteria are organisms that are presentin the environment and in the feces of all warmblooded animals and humans. Coliform bacteria will not likely cause illness. However, their presence in drinking water indicates that disease-causing organisms (pathogens) could be in the water system.

What is difference between coliform and non coliform?
They are subcategories of the Family Enterobacteriaceae. Coliforms are the lactose-fermenting, gram-negative, normal enteric flora, while non-coliforms mostly don't ferment lactose (if they do, they ferment slow) and they are either normal microbiota or true pathogens. Coliform examples are E. coli, Klebsiella Noncoliform examples are Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysenteriae Source: Foundations in Microbiology 8th Ed by Kathleen Park Talaro and Barry Chess

What is a coliform count?
A coliform count is a microbiological assay of the number of coliform-type bacteria living in a certain sample. This is often used as a measure of fecal contamination of water supplies.
Is Coliform Bacteria found in human and animal waste?
Yes, they are
Is Prevotella sp coliform bacteria?
It's mainly an oral bacteria but can be assiciated with GI symptoms
