The WHO standard for heterotrophic bacteria in potable water states that the total heterotrophic bacteria count should not be more than 100 cfu/ml [15]. ...

Heterotrophs are a group of microorganisms (yeast, moulds & bacteria) that use organic carbon as food (as opposed to autotrophs like algae that use sunlight)

The term “heterotrophic bacteria” includes all bacteria that use organic nutrients for growth. These bacteria are universally present in all types of water, ...

Heterotrophic plate counts (HPC) and total coliforms (TC) are two major microbial indicators that are used to monitor the potability of water.

Several of these microorganisms can be found in source waters and in treated drinking water and can be enumerated on HPC media.

The total heterotrophic bacteria count ranged from 0.7 x 10 2 to 2.0 x10 2 cfu/ml, total coliform count from 0.90 x 10 2 to 1.10 x 10 2 cfu/

This study evaluated the total heterotrophic bacteria (THB) counts and some physico-chemical characteristics of Rivers surrounding Wilberforce Island, Nigeria.

Heterotrophic bacteria, impacting those with infections or compromised immunity, pose heightened health risks when resistant to antibiotics.
