Water quality - Enumeration of Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria - Part 2: Most probable number method (ISO 9308-2:2012)
ISO 9308-2:2012 specifies a method for the enumeration of E. coli and coliform bacteria in water. The method is based on the growth of target organisms in a liquid medium and calculation of the "Most Probable Number" (MPN) of organisms by reference to MPN tables. This method can be applied to all types of water, including those containing an appreciable amount of suspended matter and high background counts of heterotrophic bacteria. However it must not be used for the enumeration of coliform bacteria in marine water. When using for the enumeration of E. coli in marine waters, a 1→10 dilution in sterile water is typically required, although the method has been shown to work well with some marine waters that have a lower than normal concentration of salts. In the absence of data to support the use of the method without dilution, a 1→10 dilution is used.
This method relies upon the detection of E. coli based upon expression of the enzyme b‑D‑glucuronidase and consequently does not detect many of the enterohaemorhagic strains of E. coli, which do not typically express this enzyme. Additionally, there are a small number of other E. coli strains that do not express b‑D‑glucuronidase.
The choice of tests used in the detection and confirmation of the coliform group of bacteria, including E. coli, can be regarded as part of a continuous sequence. The extent of confirmation with a particular sample depends partly on the nature of the water and partly on the reasons for the examination. The test described in ISO 9308-2:2012 provides a confirmed result with no requirement for further confirmation of positive wells.
Wasserbeschaffenheit - Zählung von Escherichia coli und coliformen Bakterien - Teil 2: Verfahren zur Bestimmung der wahrscheinlichsten Keimzahl (ISO 9308-2:2012)
Dieser Teil von ISO 9308 legt ein Verfahren für die Zählung von E. coli und coliformen Bakterien in Wasser fest. Das Verfahren beruht auf der Vermehrung von Zielorganismen in einem flüssigen Medium und der Berechnung der „wahrscheinlichsten Keimzahl“ (en: Most Probable Number, MPN) von Organismen unter Bezugnahme auf MPN Tabellen. Dieses Verfahren kann auf alle Arten von Wasser angewendet werden, einschließlich derer, die eine beträchtliche Menge an Schwebstoffen und eine hohe Keimzahl heterotropher Begleitbakterien enthalten. Es darf jedoch nicht zur Zählung coliformer Bakterien in Meerwasser angewendet werden. Wird das Verfahren zur Zählung von E. coli in Meerwasser eingesetzt, ist üblicherweise eine Verdünnung in sterilem Wasser von 1:10 erforderlich, obgleich das Verfahren nachweislich mit einigen Meerwässern gut funktioniert, die eine niedrigere als die übliche Salzkonzentration aufweisen. Wenn keine Daten zur Unterstützung der Anwendung des Verfahrens ohne Verdünnung vorliegen, wird eine 1:10 Verdünnung verwendet.
Dieses Verfahren stützt sich auf den Nachweis von E. coli auf der Grundlage der Expression des Enzyms D Glucuronidase und folglich werden viele der enterohämorrhagischen Stämme von E. coli nicht nachgewiesen, die dieses Enzym üblicherweise nicht exprimieren. Außerdem gib es eine geringe Anzahl anderer E. coli Stämme, die b D Glucuronidase nicht exprimieren.
Die Auswahl der zum Nachweis und zur Bestätigung der coliformen Gruppe von Bakterien, einschließlich E. coli, angewendeten Untersuchungen kann als Teil einer kontinuierlichen Abfolge angesehen werden. Der Umfang der Bestätigung hängt bei einer bestimmten Probe teils von der Beschaffenheit des Wassers und teils von den Gründen für die Untersuchung ab. Die in diesem Teil von ISO 9308 beschriebene Untersuchung liefert ein bestätigtes Ergebnis ohne dass eine weitere Bestätigung positiver Vertiefungen erforderlich ist.
ANMERKUNG Während in dem Verfahren die Anwendung einer handelsüblichen Zählvorrichtung beschrieben wird, kann das hier beschriebene Medium in einem Standard-MPN Verfahren verwendet werden.
Qualité de l'eau - Dénombrement des Escherichia coli et des bactéries coliformes - Partie 2: Méthode du nombre le plus probable (ISO 9308-2:2012)
L'ISO 9308-2:2012 spécifie une méthode de dénombrement des Escherichia coli et des bactéries coliformes dans l'eau. La méthode est basée sur la croissance d'organismes cibles dans un milieu liquide et sur le calcul du «nombre le plus probable» d'organismes en fonction de tables NPP. Cette méthode peut être appliquée à tous les types d'eau, y compris ceux contenant une quantité appréciable de matière en suspension et des nombres importants de bactéries hétérotrophes. Cependant, elle ne doit pas être utilisée pour dénombrer les bactéries coliformes dans l'eau de mer. Lorsqu'elle est utilisée pour dénombrer Escherichia coli dans l'eau de mer, une dilution 1→10 dans de l'eau stérile est généralement requise, bien que la méthode ait démontré son efficacité avec certaines eaux de mer ayant une concentration en sel inférieure à la normale. En l'absence de données étayant l'utilisation de la méthode sans dilution, une dilution 1→10 est utilisée.
Cette méthode repose sur la détection des Escherichia coli en fonction de l'expression de l'enzyme β-D-glucuronidase et, par conséquent, ne permet pas de détecter les souches entérohémorragiques des Escherichia coli, qui n'expriment généralement pas cette enzyme. De plus, il existe un petit nombre d'autres souches d'Escherichia coli qui n'expriment pas la β-D-glucuronidase.
Le choix des essais utilisés lors de la détection et de la confirmation du groupe de bactéries coliformes, notamment Escherichia coli, peut être considéré comme faisant partie intégrante d'une séquence continue. Le niveau de confirmation avec un échantillon particulier dépend d'une part de la nature de l'eau et d'autre part des raisons de l'examen. L'essai décrit dans l'ISO 9308-2:2012 fournit un résultat confirmé sans avoir besoin de confirmer les puits positifs.
Kakovost vode - Ugotavljanje števila Escherichia coli in koliformnih bakterij - 2. del: Metoda najverjetnejšega števila (ISO 9308-2:2012)
EN ISO 9308-2 določa metodo za ugotavljanje števila Escherichia coli in koliformnih bakterij v vodi. Ta metoda temelji na rasti ciljnih organizmov v tekočem mediju in izračunu „najverjetnejšega števila“ (MPN) organizmov z referenco na tabele MPN. To metodo je mogoče uporabiti za vse vrste vode, vključno s tistimi, ki vsebujejo znatno količino lebdečih snovi in visoko število heterotrofnih bakterij v ozadju. Vendar se te metode ne sme uporabljati za ugotavljanje števila koliformnih bakterij v morski vodi. Pri ugotavljanju števila Escherichia coli v morski vodi je običajno treba izvesti redčenje 1 10 v sterilni vodi, čeprav ta metoda dobro deluje tudi v morski vodi z nižjo vsebnostjo koncentracije soli, kot je običajna. Ker ni podatkov, ki bi podpirali uporabo te metode brez redčenja, se uporablja razredčina v razmerju 1: 10. Ta metoda upošteva zaznavanje Escherichia coli na podlagi izražanja encima β-D-glukuronidaza, zato posledično ne zazna številnih enterohemoragičnih sevov Eschericha coli, ki tega encima običajno ne izražajo. Poleg tega obstaja majhno število drugih sevov Escherichia coli, ki ne izražajo encima β-D-glukuronidaza. Izbiro preskusov, uporabljenih za zaznavanje in potrjevanje koliformne skupine bakterij, vključno z Escherichia coli, je mogoče upoštevati kot del nepretrganega zaporedja. Obseg potrditve z določenim vzorcem je delno odvisen od lastnosti vode in delno od vzrokov za preskus. Preskus, opisan v tem delu ISO 9308, podaja potrjen rezultat brez potrebe po nadaljnjem potrjevanju pozitivnih izvorov.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
ISO 9308-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 4,
Microbiological methods.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9308-2:1990), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 9308 consists of the following parts, under the general title Water quality — Enumeration of Escherichia
coli and coliform bacteria:
Part 1: Membrane filtration method for waters with low bacterial background flora
Part 2: Most probable number method
Part 3: Miniaturized method (Most Probable Number) for the detection and enumeration of E. coli in

Introduction
The presence and extent of faecal pollution is an important factor in assessing the quality of a body of water
and the risk to human health from infection. Examination of water samples for the presence of Escherichia coli
(E. coli), which normally inhabits the bowel of man and other warm-blooded animals, provides an indication of
such pollution. Examination for coliform bacteria can be more difficult to interpret because some coliform
bacteria live in soil and surface fresh water and are not always intestinal. Therefore, the presence of coliform
bacteria, although not a proof of faecal contamination, may indicate a failure in treatment or ingress of water
into the distribution system.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that
compliance with this document may involve the use of patents concerning Colilert-18 and Quanti-Tray and

WARNING – Persons using this part of ISO 9308 should be familiar with normal laboratory practice.
This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated
with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and
to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.
IMPORTANT – It is absolutely essential that tests conducted in accordance with this part of ISO 9308
be carried out by suitably qualified staff.
1 Scope
This part of ISO 9308 specifies a method for the enumeration of E. coli and coliform bacteria in water. The
method is based on the growth of target organisms in a liquid medium and calculation of the “Most Probable
Number” (MPN) of organisms by reference to MPN tables. This method can be applied to all types of water,
including those containing an appreciable amount of suspended matter and high background counts of
heterotrophic bacteria. However, it must not be used for the enumeration of coliform bacteria in marine water.
When using for the enumeration of E. coli in marine waters, a 1→10 dilution in sterile water is typically
required, although the method has been shown to work well with some marine waters that have a lower than
normal concentration of salts. In the absence of data to support the use of the method without dilution, a
1→10 dilution is used.
This method relies upon the detection of E. coli based upon expression of th
