Microbiological Testing of Potable Water

Access to clean and safe potable water is essential to safeguarding life and health. Microbiological analysis of potable water is an important part of water quality testing. Creative BioMart Microbe offers several microbiology-based potable water testing services to perform comprehensive microbiological analysis of customer-supplied water samples.

Microbiological Testing of Potable Water

There are still outbreaks of diseases caused by potable water around the world. The purpose of microbial testing of potable water is to determine the microbial quality of potable water and ensure public health safety. Potable water may be contaminated by domestic sewage and feces. In order to evaluate the microbial quality of potable water, several microorganisms are often used as indicator microorganisms to detect water samples. For example, nonspecific coliforms, E. coli and P. aeruginosa are common microorganisms in the human and animal gut, and detection of these bacteria in potable water indicates that the potable water may be contaminated.

Legionella

Legionella is a Gram-negative bacillus commonly found in environments such as soil and aquatic systems.50 species and 70 serotypes have been identified so far. Legionella can multiply in cells including macrophages. Drinking water contaminated with Legionella can cause clinical symptoms such as fever, dry cough, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Coliform Bacteria

Coliforms inhabit the gastrointestinal systems of humans and animals, and are therefore ubiquitous in human and animal feces. Klebsiella is a gram-negative bacillus that can cause urinary tract infections, pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, and more. E. coli is one of the most common microorganisms in the human gut, and pathogenic E. coli can cause symptoms such as abdominal cramps, diarrhea and vomiting. Coliforms are easily cultured and their presence can be used to infer the possible presence of other fecal-derived pathogenic microorganisms in a sample.
