MICA Legionella, an innovative and rapid method for enumeration of Legionella pneumophila in French sanitary water

A new innovative method, MICA Legionella, allows for the automatic enumeration of Legionella pneumophila in domestic water samples in 2 days, with a detection limit of 2 CFU per test portion. Here we show that it gives equivalent results to those obtained by the French standard method NF T90–431 in...

Description
Summary:A new innovative method, MICA Legionella, allows for the automatic enumeration of Legionella pneumophila in domestic water samples in 2 days, with a detection limit of 2 CFU per test portion. Here we show that it gives equivalent results to those obtained by the French standard method NF T90–431 in 7 to 15 days. •Application of rapid method MICA Legionella on French domestic hot waters.•Automatic enumeration of Legionella pneumophila in 2 days.•MICA Legionella gives equivalent results to French reference method NF T90-431.•Testing on a large set of real domestic hot water.
