Disease-causing organisms are referred to as pathogens. Although the vast majority of bacteria are either harmless or beneficial, a few pathogenic bacteria can cause disease. Coliform bacteria are not an actual cause of disease but they are commonly used as a bacterial indicator of water pollution. Higher the no. of bacteria more the water is polluted.
