TY - THES A1 - Xu, Jieping T1 - Comparison of MPN, MF method and Raman spectroscopy for detecting Enteric Bacteria in river water N2 - Waterborne diseases such as diarrhea and vomiting are still among the most severe health risks of the global level due to the consumption of contaminated water. Contamination of water by pathogenic microorganisms is a serious threat to human health. If it is not treated promptly and correctly, these waterborne diseases can lead to death. Monitoring contaminated water and ensuring water safety have always been a public concern. The abundance of microorganisms is frequently assessed as an indicator of impaired water quality, with enteric bacteria, such as total coliforms and Escherichia coli (E. coli) being the most common target groups. This report is an evaluation of Most Probable Number (MPN), Membrane Filter (MF) method and Raman spectroscopy used in water samples analysis and highlights some of the advantages and disadvantages of each method and their range of applicability.
