Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Isolated from Environmental Water Samples with New Culture Media

Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Isolated from Environmental Water Samples with New Culture Media

Special Pathogens Laboratory conducted the first study of new RGM culture media to recover Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from environmental water samples. Previously used for clinical recovery for NTM, this study shows that RGM is the most effective media to isolate these waterborne pathogens from potable and non-potable water sources paving the way for greater detection and prevention.

PUZZLED BY WICRA? SEPTEMBER 30

The Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) has become a common process for identifying infection hazards associated with facility construction and renovation. This approach traditionally focuses on activities which impact ventilation, dust generation, and construction methods with little emphasis on water systems and waterborne pathogens. Developing a Water Infection Control Risk Assessment (WICRA) can help secure patient safety and the facility’s reputation from the consequences of waterborne disease associated with water system construction, renovation, or maintenance activity.
