Water quality - Detection and enumeration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Part 2: Most probable number method (ISO 16266-2:2018)
This document specifies a method for the enumeration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in water. The method is based on the growth of target organisms in a liquid medium and calculation of the most probable number (MPN) of organisms by reference to MPN tables.
This document is applicable to a range of types of water. For example, hospital waters, drinking water and non‑carbonated bottled waters intended for human consumption, groundwater, swimming pool and spa pool waters including those containing high background counts of heterotrophic bacteria.
This document does not apply to carbonated bottled waters, flavoured bottle waters, cooling tower waters or marine waters, for which the method has not been validated. These waters are, therefore, outside the scope of this document. Laboratories can employ the method presented in this document for these matrices by undertaking appropriate validation of performance of this method prior to use.
The test is based on a bacterial enzyme detection technology that signals the presence of P. aeruginosa through the hydrolysis of a 7‑amino‑4‑methylcoumarin aminopeptidase substrate present in a special reagent. P. aeruginosa cells rapidly grow and reproduce using the rich supply of amino acids, vitamins and other nutrients present in the reagent. Actively growing strains of P. aeruginosa have an enzyme that cleaves the 7‑amido‑coumarin aminopeptidase substrate releasing a product which fluoresces under ultraviolet (UV) light. The test described in this document provides a confirmed result within 24 h with no requirement for further confirmation of positive wells.
Wasserbeschaffenheit - Nachweis und Zählung von Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Teil 2: Verfahren zur Bestimmung der wahrscheinlichsten Keimzahl (ISO 16266-2:2018)
Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Zählung von Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Wasser fest. Das Verfahren beruht auf der Vermehrung von Zielorganismen in einem flüssigen Medium und der Berechnung der wahrscheinlichsten Keimzahl (MPN, en: most probable number) der Organismen anhand von MPN Tabellen.
Dieses Dokument ist auf eine Reihe von Wasserarten anwendbar: zum Beispiel auf Wasser für den Gebrauch in Krankenhäusern, Trinkwasser und nicht kohlensäurehaltiges, in Flaschen abgefülltes Wasser für den menschlichen Gebrauch, Grundwasser, Wasser für Schwimm- und Warmsprudelbecken, einschließlich Wasser, das eine hohe Grundanzahl heterotropher Bakterien enthält.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar auf kohlensäurehaltiges, in Flaschen abgefülltes Wasser, aromatisiertes in Flaschen abgefülltes Wasser, Wasser in Kühltürmen oder Meerwasser, also Wasserarten, für die das Verfahren nicht validiert wurde. Diese Wasserarten liegen daher außerhalb des Anwendungsbereiches dieses Dokuments. Laboratorien können das in diesem Dokument dargestellte Verfahren für diese Matrices anwenden, indem sie vor der Verwendung eine geeignete Validierung der Leistung dieses Verfahrens durchführen.
Die Untersuchung beruht auf einer Technik zum Nachweis bakterieller Enzyme, die das Vorhandensein von P. aeruginosa durch die Hydrolyse eines in einem speziellen Reagens enthaltenen 7 Amino 4 methylcoumarin-Aminopeptidase-Substrats anzeigt. Aufgrund der reichlichen Versorgung mit Aminosäuren, Vitaminen und anderen Nährstoffen aus dem Reagens wachsen und vermehren sich die Zellen von P. aeruginosa rasch. Aktiv wachsende Stämme von P. aeruginosa verfügen über ein Enzym, welches das 7 Amino‐coumarin-aminopeptidase-Substrat aufspaltet, wodurch ein unter ultraviolettem Licht fluoreszierendes Produkt freigesetzt wird. Die in diesem Dokument beschriebene Untersuchung liefert innerhalb von 24 h ein bestätigtes Ergebnis, ohne dass eine weitere Bestätigung der positiven Vertiefungen erforderlich ist.
Qualité de l'eau - Recherche et dénombrement de Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Partie 2: Méthode du nombre le plus probable (ISO 16266-2:2018)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode permettant de dénombrer Pseudomonas aeruginosa dans l'eau. Cette méthode se fonde sur la croissance d'organismes cibles dans un milieu liquide et le calcul du nombre le plus probable (NPP) d'organismes en se référant aux tables du NPP.
Le présent document s'applique à différents types d'eau. Par exemple, les eaux destinées aux hôpitaux, l'eau potable et les eaux en bouteille non gazéifiées destinées à la consommation humaine, les eaux souterraines, les eaux de piscine et de spa, y compris celles contenant des nombres importants de bactéries hétérotrophes.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux eaux en bouteille gazéifiées, aux eaux en bouteille aromatisées, aux eaux de tour de refroidissement ou à l'eau de mer, pour lesquelles cette méthode n'a pas été validée. Par conséquent, ces eaux ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application du présent document. Les laboratoires peuvent utiliser la méthode présentée dans le présent document pour ces matrices en prenant les mesures adéquates de validation des performances de cette méthode avant son utilisation.
L'essai se fonde sur une technologie de recherche des enzymes bactériennes qui signale la présence de P. aeruginosa en hydrolysant un substrat de 7‑amino‑4‑méthylcoumarine aminopeptidase présent dans un réactif spécial. Les cellules de P. aeruginosa se développent et se reproduisent rapidement à l'aide de l'apport important en acides aminés, vitamines et autres nutriments présents dans le réactif. Les souches de P. aeruginosa en développement actif présentent une enzyme qui dissocie le substrat de 7‑amido‑coumarine aminopeptidase, générant un produit qui présente une fluorescence sous une lumière ultraviolette (UV). L'essai décrit dans le présent document fournit un résultat confirmé dans un délai de 24 h sans avoir besoin de confirmer les puits positifs.
Kakovost vode - Ugotavljanje prisotnosti in števila Pseudomonas aeruginosa - 2. del: Metoda najverjetnejšega števila (ISO 16266-2:2018)
Ta dokument določa metodo za ugotavljanje števila Pseudomonas aeruginosa v vodi. Metoda temelji na rasti ciljnih organizmov v tekočem mediju in izračunu najverjetnejšega števila (MPN) organizmov z referenco na tabele MPN.
Ta dokument se uporablja za različne vrste vod, na primer vodo v bolnišnicah, pitno vodo in ustekleničeno vodo brez dodanega ogljikovega dioksida, ki je namenjena za pitje, podtalnico, vodo v bazenih in toplicah, vključno s tistimi, ki vsebujejo visoko število heterotrofnih bakterij v ozadju.
Ta dokument se ne uporablja za ustekleničeno vodo z dodanim ogljikovim dioksidom, ustekleničeno vodo z okusom, vodo v hladilnem stolpu ali morsko vodo, za katere metoda ni bila potrjena. Slednje zato ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta. Laboratoriji lahko metodo, predstavljeno v tem dokumentu, uporabijo za te matrike, če pred uporabo ustrezno potrdijo njeno učinkovitost. Preskus temelji na tehnologiji zaznavanja bakterijskih encimov, ki signalizira prisotnost P. aeruginosa s hidrolizo substrata 7-amino-4-metilkumarin aminopeptidaze, ki je prisoten v posebnem reagentu. Celice P. aeruginosa hitro rastejo in se razmnožujejo z uporabo bogate zaloge aminokislin, vitaminov in drugih hranilnih snovi, ki so prisotne v reagentu. Aktivno rastoči sevi P. aeruginosa imajo encim, ki cepi substrat 7-amido-kumarinske aminopeptidaze, pri čemer se sprosti produkt, ki fluorescira pod ultravijolično (UV) svetlobo. Preskus, opisan v tem dokumentu, poda potrjen rezultat v 24 urah brez potrebe po nadaljnjem potrjevanju pozitivnih izvorov.

ISO 16266-2:2018(E)
Introduction
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen of man that is capable of growth in water at very
low nutrient concentrations. At source and during marketing, a natural mineral water or a spring water
is to be free from Pseudomonas aeruginosa in any 250 ml sample examined (see, for example, Council
Directive 2009/54/EC, Reference [1]). Other bottled waters offered for sale are also to be free of
Pseudomonas aeruginosa in any 250 ml sample (see e.g. Council Directive 98/83/EC, Reference [2]).
Other waters, including swimming and spa pool waters, water for human consumption and hospital
waters, may sometimes be tested for Pseudomonas aeruginosa for reasons of public health. In these
cases, it is typical to examine 100 ml volumes.
The method described in this document can be applied to a range of types of water, for example,
hospital waters, drinking water and non‐carbonated bottled waters intended for human consumption,
groundwater, swimming pool and spa pool waters including those containing high background counts
of heterotrophic bacteria (see References [3], [4], [5], [6] and [7]).
