Pour plate count method was employed for the total plate count (TPC), while multiple tube fermentation techniques were used for coliform bacteria determination. Among all the fruit samples washed with water, the highest value of TPC was observed in apples (15000 CFU/g) and the lowest in pears (2000 CFU/g). The presence of Coliform and fecal Coliform bacteria were found UR - https://sciarena.com/article/antibacterial-agents-effects-on-the-bacterial-flora-of-fruits-collected-from-peshawar-city-of-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-pakistan ER -
