In the food industry among indicator microbes the detection of coliform. and E. coli bacteria is the most frequently used procedure. The paper compares the traditional method with the fluorescence method, already used in foreign laboratories. The rapid method is based on the indication of glucuronidase, produced by E. coli. While with the traditional method needs at least 96 hours at best, 24 hours are enough to detect E. coli with the rapid technique. The test proved that the rapid method can be well adopted to brewery samples with special additional flora and beside being quicker sensitivity can occasionally be higher. This new microbiological method was found suitable to introduce it into brewery practice
