does it have any effects and can it be cured
Answers:
Lactose-fermenting coliform are bacteria generally found in feces. They produce acid and gas through the fermentation of lactose, a milk sugar. Their presence generally indicates water contamination or contamination through the fecal-oral route. Some examples of coliform are E. coli, Enterobacter and Klebsiella, all pathogenic. They can cause such things as dysentery, typhoid, gastroenteritis and hepatitis A. How it's treated depends on the specific organism.
