analysis comparison of commercially available kits to assess water quality and evaluation of their ability to detect Escherichia coli. Chromocult, MI agar, Readycult, and Colilert detect beta-glucuronidase production from respectively 79.9, 79.9, 81.1, and 51.4% of the 74 Escherichia coli strains tested. These four methods detect beta-galactosidase production from respectively 85.1, 73.8, 84.1, and 84.1% of the total coliform strains tested. The high level of false-negative results for Escherichia coli recognition obtained by all four methods suggests that they may not be appropriate for identification of presumptive Escherichia coli strains Escherichia coli
