PSEUDOMONAS ASPARAGINE BROTH (as per APHA)

Recreational water like from swimming pool is a body of water in a holding structure. Microorganisms of concern are those causing infections of ear, skin and upper respiratory tract etc. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of those organisms which account for a large percentage of swimming pool associated illness. Asparagine Medium is recommended for the microbiological analysis of water. Pseudomonas Aspargine Broth is an excellent enrichment medium for P. aeruginosa since it is composed of a mineral base and the only carbon source is asparagine. It is also used in the multiple-tube technique for microbiological analysis of recreational waters. Pseudomonas Asparagine Broth is formulated as recommended by APHA for presumptive detection of P. aeruginosa from recreational or natural waters.
