Title:
Evaluation of Rapid Water Microbial Test Technology
Report Date:
2019-08-15
Abstract:
The United States (U.S.) Air Force Medical Service (AFMS), and largely the U.S. Army, lack the ability to rapidly detect bacteriain drinking water on-site, without incubators, and in austere environments. Recent Air Force guidance has identified the need forimproved microbial detection capabilities in water. In garrison, U.S. Air Force Bioenvironmental Engineering (BE) and the triservicesconduct routine testing of installation drinking water in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and theRevised Total Coliforms Rule (RTCR). These standards are based on the detection of fecal indicator bacteria (Escherichia coli andtotal coliforms) to determine the microbial quality of potable water and is represented as Colony Forming Units per 100 milliliter(CFU/100 mL).
