Rate of occurrence of false-positive results from total coliform most-probable-number analysis of shellfish and estuaries.
The incidence of confirmed test, false-positive coliform most-probable-number results was compared with environmental parameters and was found to be inversely related to water temperature. It is concluded that the completed coliform test must be done when water temperatures drop below 15 degrees C.
متن کاملScreening for colorectal neoplasias with fecal occult blood tests: false-positive impact of non-dietary restriction.
OBJECTIVE Screening for colorectal cancer using guaiac-based fecal occult blood tests (gFOBT) is well established in Western populations, but is hampered by poor patient compliance due to the imposed dietary restrictions. Fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) do not require dietary restriction, but are more expensive than gFOBT and therefore restrict its use in developing countries in Asia. However,...
متن کاملRapid, single-step most-probable-number method for enumerating fecal coliforms in effluents from sewage treatment plants.
A single-step most-probable-number method for enumerating fecal coliforms in sewage treatment plant effluents is described. The method requires the use of only one lactose-based medium and a single incubation temperature of 44.5 degrees C, and it can be completed in 18 h or less, as compared with up to 72 h for the standard most-probable-number method. The appearance of growth is the sole crite...

15 صفحه اولOvercoming the Inflexibility of Most-Probable-Number Procedures
The design of most-probable-number (MPN) experiments is restricted by the availability and completeness of tables for certain dilution ratio and replicate number combinations. The results presented in this paper are from a computer program, the Most Probable Number Enumeration System (MPNES), which generates solutions and confidence limits (P = 0.05) for population estimates of MPN data. Tables...
