title: [Comparison between rapid detection method of enzyme substrate technique and multiple-tube fermentation technique in water coliform bacteria detection].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare between rapid detection method of enzyme substrate technique and multiple-tube fermentation technique in water coliform bacteria detection.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using inoculated and real water samples to compare the equivalence and false positive rate between two methods.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Results demonstrate that enzyme substrate technique shows equivalence with multiple-tube fermentation technique (P = 0.059), false positive rate between the two methods has no statistical difference.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is suggested that enzyme substrate technique can be used as a standard method for water microbiological safety evaluation.
