Dr. Edberg is an internationally renowned scientist whose contributions to clinical microbiology have impacted the bench, the bedside and global health. He has laid the groundwork for many of today's rapid identification methods. One of Dr. Edberg's significant contributions to global health was his development of the "Colilert" test for the detection and enumeration of Escherichia coli in drinking water under field and laboratory conditions.
