Not All Coliforms are Pathogenic

Question

Not all coliforms are pathogenic.

Accepted Answer

Coliforms are a group of bacteria that are commonly found in the environment, including in soil, water, and the digestive tracts of animals. While some coliforms can cause illness if ingested by humans, not all coliforms are pathogenic or disease-causing. Some coliforms are even beneficial, such as those found in the gut microbiome that aid in digestion.
