Answer:

If the IMVic test detects the presence of E. coli it means that the water is contaminated with faecal coliforms.

Explanation:

The IMVic test is a test that can be used to discover contaminants in water. The water may be contaminated by fecal coliforms or substances from plants and soil. These substances are associated with the presence of some bacteria, which is why the IMCic test is so efficient.

The IMVic test is able to detect the presence of Klebsiella, Enterobacter and Escherichia coli bacteria. If after the application of the test, the presence of E. coli in the water is detected, it means that the water is contaminated with faecal coliforms. If the presence of Klebsiella or Enterobacter is detected it means that the water is contaminated with substances of plant origin or soil particles.
