“…Additionally, the presence of organic suspended materials promotes microorganism growth (Rifaat 2007). Furthermore, high TC counts were observed in El-Rahmna (May), El-Bostan (March), and El-Adlyia (July) stations due to significantly high temperatures and discharged wastewater during these months; this result was consistent with (El Fadaly et al, 2001;Sabae 2004;Sabae and Rabeh 2007). In contrast, the MPN count of TC was low in El-Rahmna (August), El-Bostan (June) and El-Adlyia (April), It was due to the algal blooms in these months which, cause oxygen and nutrients depletion and also because of anti-microbial toxins (Sellner et al, 2003;Falconer 1999).…”

For identifying fecal pollution in water, microbial indicators, particularly those from the coliform groups Escherichia coli and Enterococci, have been utilized, which are considered guidelines for the quality of drinking water. The multiple-tube fermentation (MTF) and membrane filter (MF) procedures for detecting indicator organisms are recognized conventional methods, and they are compared with the multiplex PCR method. Three sets of different primers were used in combination with the multiplex PCR procedure. The first set aims to amplify 876 base pairs from the lacZ gene, which is present in all coliform bacteria, including E. coli. The second set aims to amplify 147 base pairs from the uidA gene, which is unique to E. coli. While the final set yields a tuf gene with 112 base pairs that are unique to all Enterococci. The multiplex PCR technique has been found to be an effective, sensitive, and quick method for detecting these three microbial indicators in contaminated water. In Damietta County, Egypt, three water treatment stations (El-Rahmna -El-Adlyia -El-Bostan) were evaluated for their effectiveness at removing pollutants from the water using the optimized multiplex PCR.

“…During the present study the coliform count was found very much higher than the prescribed limit [100 MPN/100 ml (WHO, 2006)] indicated that water is not potable for drinking and other recreational purposes. As a consequence, coliforms detected in higher concentrations than pathogenic bacteria, are used as an index of the potential presence of enteropathogens in water environments [27,28].…”

“…Currently, coliforms and E. coli are of great importance among bacterial indicators used in water quality definition and health risk [28][29]. The greater the fecal coliform count, the greater the probability of contracting diseases from waterborne pathogenic bacteria [30][31][32].…”

Water is one of the best gifts to all living creature, given by nature. It is compulsory for the growth and maintenance of human body and also for many biological activities. It plays a vital role for the survival of all forms of life of earth and works as a universal solvent. Pollution is caused when a change in the physical, chemical or biological condition in the environment harmfully affect quality of human life including other animal's life and plant The quality of water is typically determined by monitoring microbial presence, especially total coliforms, fecal coliforms and fecal streptococci. The total coliform count varied in the range of 836-1987.43 MPN/100 ml, 743-981 MPN/100ml, 1115.4 to 2010 MPN/100 ml; fecal coliform varied in the range of 763-1947.61 MPN/100 ml, 547-979 MPN/100 ml and 1057 to 1378 MPN/100 ml and fecal streptococci varied in the range of 881-1969.53 and 832.63-1098.86 MPN/100 ml, 1155 to 1512 MPN/100 ml during winter, summer and rainy season, respectively.
