Three different types of bottled water had counts of psychrophilic bacteria (aerobic colony count at 22 degrees C) ranging from 10(0)-10(4) colony forming unit/1 ml. The most frequent type of bottled water to exceed limits for psychrophilic microorganisms was still table water. The growth of psychrophilic microorganisms of up to 10(4) CFU/ml began over the six month storage period.

D004755	Enterobacteriaceae	A family of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that do not form endospores. Its organisms are distributed worldwide with some being saprophytes and others being plant and animal parasites. Many species are of considerable economic importance due to their pathogenic effects on agriculture and livestock.	Coliform Bacilli,Enterobacteria,Ewingella,Leclercia,Paracolobactrum,Sodalis
