Indicator of faecal pollution of water (1,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

e coli

(Other definitions for e coli that I've seen before include "Some types of this bacterium are toxic" , "Gut bugs" , "Nasty bug" , "cause of illness" , "Bug that causes food poisoning" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
