Abstract: In diluted three times with tap water dish detergent company Amway, with no past-life, the bacterium that causes flatulence was discovered, which led to inflated bottle. Isolation of bacteria in pure culture, seeding on Kessler ambience, Gram staining and microscopic analysis showed its belonging to a group of enterobacteria – Escherichia coli. The nature of bacterial growth in media Hiss and other physiological and biochemical characteristics is studied. The ability of enterobacteria to live in a substratum containing a minimum of organic compounds in the presence of nonionic and anionic surfactants, suggests the possibility of the emergence of strains with is dangerous to human health in detergents used to clean utensils.

Keywords: detergent AMWAY DISH DROPS, Escherichia coli.
