Resuscitation and detection of stressed coliforms in treated water samples is needed to assess and prevent health effects from adverse exposure. In this study, we developed a custom growth media that improved total coliform resuscitation from chlorine-stressed samples from secondary effluent to see if detection time could be reduced from 18 to 8 hours.
