Aim of the study was to detect filtration efficiency of several (nano)materials used for the filtration/removal of E. coli bacteria or natural bacterial communities from water samples. Filtration efficiency was evaluated by commonly used culticvation techniques as well as by flow cytometry (FCM). Although filtration efficiency of certain nanomaterials detected by cultivation was very high (>99%), it was demonstarted that sample filtration does not have to lead to significant decline of total bacterial counts measured by FCM. From this viewpoint FCM can be considered as a suitable analytical method for the assessment of wastewater treatment processess efficiency, which, compared to cultivation techniques, possess some disadvantages (difficult standardization) but also has several advantages (speed, more realistic measurement conditions).
