Prevalence of E. coli and their antibiotic susceptibility Escherichia coli prevalence (colony-forming unit (CFU) ml−1) was observed in the Kelani River from upstream (K1; Seethawaka Export Processing Zone [EPZ]) to downstream (K4; Ambathale intake) (Table 1). We did not observe the large change in the range of prevalence of total coliform in October (23–31 CFU ml−1) and March […] More
