<br />ri. '\ "j i: l-;,~ <br />\!", '.) ,'. <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />H. C. Clare <br /> <br />single day. <br /> <br />Total coliform bacteria represent a diverse <br /> <br />group of microorganisms whose presence have been used as <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />indication of sewage pollution in water supplies. They <br /> <br />are always present in the intestinal tract of man and other <br /> <br />warm-blooded animals and are excreted in large numbers in <br /> <br />fecal wastes. It must be noted that under some circum- <br /> <br />stances,. coliform bacteria may be present which are derived <br /> <br />from sources other than fecal excreta. <br /> <br />Fecal coliform bacteria eliminate coliforms <br /> <br />derived from sources other than the gut of warm-blooded <br /> <br />animals. Enumeration of this group yields an index for <br /> <br />that portion of the coliform group which is of fecal origin. <br /> <br />As the numbers of fecal coliform increase, the relative <br /> <br />probability of hazard from enteric diseases increases. <br /> <br />In order that we may have ourselves refreshed as <br /> <br />to the recommendations which were presented at the second <br /> <br />session of the conference, I would like to call on Martin <br /> <br />A. Bauer., who is in charge, and has been in charge of the <br /> <br />study which has been made on the South Platte River by the <br /> <br />State and the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration. <br /> <br />Mr. Bauer. <br /> <br />MR. STEIN: Thank you, Mr. Clare. <br /> <br />I know that the people of Colorado voted <br /> <br /> <br />
