16、nce of other pathogens.NOTE 1Fecal waste is 95 % E. coli which is found in humans and warm bloodied animals.5.2 The membrane filtration procedure described is a rapid and reliable test method of detecting P. aeruginosa in water.6. Interferences6.1 For certain samples, bacterial cells may have been e

17、xposed to adverse environmental factors that lower their probability forsurvival and growth on a membrane filter medium. This effect may be pronounced in this test method due to the presence ofantibiotics and the elevated incubation temperature.6.2 The selection of an appropriate dilution volume is

18、essential.Too small a dilution volume may fail to detect any P. aeruginosaorganisms, while too large a volume may cause an overabundance of colonies that would interfere with an accurate count.6.3 Chemicals or a combination of chemicals in certain samples can have a toxic effect upon P. aeruginosa w

Connect the filtration flask and vacuum trap to a vacuum source.13.1.2 If P. aeruginosa levels are high the sample must be diluted to

47、 obtain measurable levels. This is accomplished by seriallydiluting a known quantity of the sample (for example, 1.0 mL) through a series of known volumes (for example, 99 mL) of sterilebuffered water until the desired bacterial density is obtained.13.1.3 Thoroughly mix the sample prior to filtratio

Shut off the vacuum whenall the liquid has been filtered. Remove the funnel and, with sterile forceps, carefully remove the membrane filter from the base.13.1.5 Place the membrane on the M-PA-C3 medium by holding the filter at an angle of 45 and carefully rolling it onto theagar surface.
