[Automatization of bacteriological water analysis: description of a new method for measuring faecal pollution (author's transl)].
The main steps leading to a device for automatic bàcteriological analysis of water are described. The use of a new test for faecal contamination of water, the definition of a new culture method and the choice of a particular bactericidal solution are necessary for the realization of this apparatus. Processes of culture and detection of Escherichia coli are achieved within 13h. The present automatic device allows examination of 120 samples a day.
