What is difference between coliform and non coliform?
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 Source: Foundations in Microbiology 8th Ed by Kathleen Park Talaro and Barry Chess

Yes. Serratia is a Gram negative rod from the Enterobacteriaceae family. The Hektoen Enteric agar allows the growth of Gram negative bacteria while inhibiting growth of Gram positive bacteria.
What is an Enterotube?
The Enterotube is a multitest system to detect enteric pathogens. Its identification depends on the metabolic activity of the pathogen.

What is the difference between a chewable and an enteric coated tablet?
An enteric coated tablet has a shell that prevents it from dissolving in the stomach. If chewed the shell will be broken and the medicine will encounter the stomach wall. Enteric coatings seek to prevent this because some medicines are harmful to the stomach but not to the small intestine where they are digested.

What is the bacteriological standard for potable water?
By bacteriologic standards, water for drinking (i.e., potable water) should be free of coliforms and enterococci and contain not more than 500 organisms per milliliter. The term "coliform," which refers to lactose-fermenting, enteric, gram-negative bacilli, is now obsolete except in sanitary bacteriology where these coliforms are used as "indicator" organisms. They are chosen because they are present chiefly in sewage and not elsewhere, are reasonably abundant, and are easy and inexpensive to grow. (Morello.
