Bacterial Analysis for Enterococci

This microbiological analysis is designed for well and natural water testing. It is not suitable for chlorinated municipal water. If you want to analyze bacteria in municipal water, please contact our customer service to arrange for an appropriate sampling kit and sample delivery.

Enterococci, like E. coli, are indicators of fecal contamination and, when present, signal a risk of waterborne intestinal infections. Enterococci are commonly found in the feces of humans and warm-blooded animals but can also originate from the environment. Because enterococci persist well in the environment, they may indicate contamination that occurred long before the sample was taken.

Enterococci can enter wells through inadequate or damaged sealing or due to soil structure, making well disinfection or repair only a temporary solution. If enterococci bacteria are detected, the water is unfit for use as is.

The product includes a sampling kit with prepaid shipping to the laboratory and clear sampling instructions.

Results are delivered to your email within two weeks of the sample’s arrival at the laboratory.

The analysis report includes a statement based on the threshold values set by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, evaluated according to the water’s tested properties.
