1. Microbial Analysis of Service Water in Different Food Establishments in
the Vicinity of De La Salle University
Due to industrialization and other anthropogenic activities,
the purity of water is critically threatened. The microbiological
parameters that are considered for drinking water to be safe for
consumption are the amount or concentration of Enterococci,
Escherichia Coli, and coliform bacteria which all should be zero.
In a study done in Lonand, a town in Khandala Tahsil,
Satara, water samples were analyzed for Klebsiella and E. coli
estimation. Results revealed that most samples were positive of
Klebsiella and E. coli.
Another study done in Chennai used samples from bottled
drinking water to analyze for total and faecal coliform count, total
viable plate count and culture. Results show that faecal coliforms
were not isolated from any of the bottles drinking water.
This test could indicate whether the food establishments
around De La Salle University use filtrated, purified drinking water
as their service water.
