The bacteria are used to assess water quality as an indicator parameter. If detected, it can confirm the occurrence of past fecal contamination. Tests determining in water samples are usually performed by membrane filtration where filters are incubated on selective media under anaerobic conditions. Available media include mCP and TSC. The aim of this study was to compare the relative recovery of (including spores) from surface water samples and to determine the performance characteristics of the membrane filtration method using both media. The results showed that, although the procedure using the mCP medium was more sensitive and specific, higher recoveries were obtained in the tests based on the TSC medium.
这些细菌被用来评估水质作为指示参数。如果检测到，它可以确认过去粪便污染的发生。在水样中进行的测试通常通过膜过滤来完成，其中过滤器在厌氧条件下在选择性培养基上孵育。可用的培养基包括 mCP 和 TSC。本研究的目的是比较从地表水样品中回收（包括孢子）的相对回收率，并确定使用这两种培养基的膜过滤方法的性能特征。结果表明，尽管使用 mCP 培养基的程序更敏感和更具特异性，但基于 TSC 培养基的测试中获得了更高的回收率。
