They are subcategories of the Family Enterobacteriaceae. Coliforms are the lactose-fermenting, gram-negative, normal enteric flora, while non-coliforms mostly don't ferment lactose (if they do, they ferment slow) and they are either normal microbiota or true pathogens.

Coliform examples are E. coli, Klebsiella

Noncoliform examples are Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysenteriae
