Background: The detection of coliforms requires incubation in a laboratory, powered using electricity. In some developing countries, however, external energy sources such as electricity are not readily available. Objectives: To develop a fast, reliable method for detecting coliforms in water without an external energy source, we assessed the efficacy of six test kits for the identification of coliforms in water samples. Methods: To assess the possibility of using body temperature as the sole source of heat for incubation, bacterial samples were mixed with the enzymatic test kit reagent and attached to the human body surface using a patch. The patches were attached to the bodies of volunteers for 24 hours and the practicality and accuracy of the patches were assessed. Findings: Coliforms were detected within 24 hours in all patches. Conclusions: This innovation will facilitate the testing of water quality by researchers and by economically disadvantaged people without electricity.
