Comparison of BCYEα+AB agar and MWY agar for detection and enumeration of Legionella spp. in hospital water samples
BACKGROUND: This study illustrates for the first time the performance (sensitivity and selectivity) of the selective medium BCYEα +AB suggested by the new edition of ISO 11731 for legionella isolation and enumeration. We compared the efficacy of the selective BCYEα +AB medium with that of the highly...
