coliform group consists of several genera of bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. The historical definition of this group has been based on the method used for detection (lactose fermentation) rather than on the tenets of systematic bacteriology. Accordingly‚ when the fermentation technique is used‚ this group is defined as all facultative anaerobic‚ gram-negative‚ non-spore-forming‚ rod-shaped bacteria that ferment lactose with gas and acid formation within 48 h at 35°C.
