Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Method Description

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause serious infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals, and is commonly found in water and moist environments. Testing is important for products that may be consumed by vulnerable populations because P. aeruginosa can survive in low-nutrient conditions and resist many disinfectants. The analysis uses selective media that inhibits other bacteria while allowing P. aeruginosa to grow and produce characteristic pigments.
