Özet
The most probable number (MPN) method of Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC), modified direct plate (MDP) method, violet red bile agar/violet red bile agar (VRBA/VRBA) and modified MPN (MMPN) methods were compared for the enumeration of Escherichia coli in naturally contaminated raw milk. Statistical analysis of data shows no significant difference among the counts obtained by these methods. Maximum counts of E. coli were obtained by the AOAC''s MPN, MMPN and MDP methods.
