Press Release June 4, 2009
Fecal coliform test study
Use of the fecal colifom (thermotolerant E. coli) test on sewage, food and water is
a serious threat to public health. There has been a dramatic increase in illness,
especially foodborne illnesses during the past twenty years. The numbers
correspond with the expanded use of sewage sludge (biosolids) and reclaimed
water on food crops, parks, school grounds and home lawns.
Method: A Literature Review
By design, the fecal coliform test itself reduces or eliminates coliform bacteria. Yet,
coliform contaminated sewage sludge is a known infectious link from humans to
farms, to animals and back to humans. Coliform bacteria are a major cause of
hospital acquired infections. Coliform are the Enterobacteriaceae family of bacteria
which include but is not limited to: Cedecea, Citrobacter, Edwardsiella,
Enterobacter, ESCHERICHIA COLI, Ewingella, Hafnia alvei, Klebsiella, Kluiyvera,
Koserella, Leminorella, Morganella morganii, Providencia, Proteus, Salmonella,
Serratia, Shigella, Tatumella, Yersinia.
Results:
The fecal coliform test excludes the following pathogenic families: 1) Aerobic Gram-
Positive Cocci; 2) Aerobic Gram-Negative Cocci; 3) Aerobic Gram-Positive Bacilli;
4) Aerobic Gram-Negative Bacilli: Nonenterobacteriaceae—Fermentative; 5)
Aerobic Gram-Negative Bacilli: Nonenterobacteriaceae—Nonfermentative; 6)
Aerobic Gram-Negative Fastidious Coccobacilli; 7) Mycoplasma (Pleuropneumonia-
Like Organisms [PPLO]); and 8) Treponemataceae (Spiral Organisms).
These families of bacteria contain the most deadly community acquired
superbugs. Among these are the Invasive group A streptococcal,
Staphylococcus, MRSA, Clostridium, most Necrotizing (flesh eating) bacteria,
and E. coli 0157 which have become epidemic. It also ignores the deadly
community acquired viruses such as swine flu, Adenoviruses, arenaviruses,
Herpes viruses, paramyxoviruses, papovaviruses such as Polyoma virus and
Papillomasvirus, picornaviruses such as enteroviruses, Poliovirus, Coxsackievirus,
Echovirus, and hepatitis A virus.
Conclusion:
Public health is compromised, farms and associated business are damaged or
destroyed, surface and ground water are contaminated, animals and people are
sick, dead and/or dying based on a 105 year old fecal coliform test that proves
pathogen contaminated sewage sludge is being disposed of as a fertilizer or soil
amendment. Based on twenty years of research, there is currently no scientific or
management method which would safely allow the use of sludge or reclaimed
water on legitimate farming operations for any reason or for any other public
purpose.
The study is open access @
