Bacillus coli is an aerobic, gram–positive, rod–shaped bacteria that is commonly found in soil and water. In the construction context, Bacillus coli can occur in the soil surrounding buildings and can lead to indoor air quality issues if it is present in high concentrations. It is also known to cause infections in humans, particularly those who work in construction, so proper safety protocols should be used when working in contaminated soil.
