A rapid and simple procedure for the enumeration of faecal coliform bacteria present on the fingertips is described. The distribution of individual faecal coliform fingertip counts within households has been compared with a number of variables related to the availability of water supply and sanitation facilities. This showed a strong association between the fingertip count and the possession of in-house water connections. It is proposed that this test might provide a reliable indication of the effectiveness of certain public health interventions.
本文描述了一种快速简便的方法，用于计数指尖上存在的粪便大肠菌群细菌。已将家庭中个体粪便大肠菌群指尖计数的分布与一些与供水和卫生设施可用性相关的变量进行了比较。这表明指尖计数与室内供水管道的拥有情况之间存在密切关联。有人提出，该测试可能为某些公共卫生干预措施的有效性提供可靠指标。
