Performances
P. aeruginosa is an ubiquitous pathogen capable of persisting in biofilms in aquatic environments.
Its presence may pose a health risk in the event of skin or mucosal contact with contaminated water or inhalation of aerosols from contaminated water systems or equipment. Because of this combination of high health risks and survival mechanisms, early detection through proactive testing is critical to ensure public safety and prevent potential outbreaks.
To meet this need, CHROMagar™ P.aeruginosa serves as a versatile tool for both mandatory regulatory testing and flexible routine monitoring.
Applications
- Water Safety: All water intended for human consumption (including mineral water, spring water, well water, fountain water, and tap water) as well as recreational water (such as swimming pools and thermal waters).
- Hygiene Control: Monitor the hygiene of processes, networks, and equipment, particularly in food companies and healthcare facilities.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meet microbiological standards to eliminate potential health risks.
Advantages
1. Unmatched turnaround: Clear, countable results from just 18 hours (vs. 48+ hours with traditional media).
2. Clear differentiation: Target colonies grow in a high-contrast red color, eliminating the need for UV lamps, complex pigment and morphology interpretation, and secondary subcultures.
3. Superior performance: Advanced selective mix offers higher sensitivity and specificity by suppressing non-target flora while achieving an outstanding limit of detection for P. aeruginosa.
4. Reduced time and workload: Streamlined testing compared to traditional methods (like ISO 16266). Fewer plates, faster interpretation, and zero tedious subcultures, translate directly into lower operational and labor costs.
