Coliforms represent normal bacterial flora found in the intestines of humans and animals.
Examples of coliform found in water include:
- Enterotoxigenic E. coli (Gram negative bacterium) which causes traveler's diarrhea
- Shigella spp. (Gram negative bacterium) which causes bacillary dysentery
- Vibrio cholerae (Gram negative bacterium) which causes cholera
- Salmonella enterica typhi (Gram negative bacterium) which causes typhoid fever

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
