Description:
Drinking water contaminated by excrement, poor sanitation and hygiene conditions, and water access, is generally believed to be major contributors to diarrheal disease. For this reason, WHO guidelines provide strict limits on the fecal contamination in drinking water supplies. Along with Escherichia coli, thermotolerant coliforms (TTC) are also a WHO-approved indicator of fecal contamination. Besides the E. coli, TTC also includes Klebisella, Enterobacter, and Citrobacter species. A limit of < 1 TTC/100 mL in public water supplies (WHO 2011) was specified in WHO guidelines, which number is also applied to the indicator of E. coli.
