Specifies a method for isolating and estimating the number of Legionella pneumophila and a range of other Legionella spp. in water. This method is applicable to all water samples, including recreational, industrial, waste and natural waters.

This Standard sets out a method for isolating and estimating the number of Legionella pneumophila and a range of other Legionella spp. in water. This method is applicable to all water samples, including recreational, industrial, waste and natural waters.NOTES: 1 A flow chart of the procedure is shown in Appendix A.2 While this method is suitable for the testing of all waters, there is a separate method (AS 5132) that is designed specifically for concentration of water where a lower limit of detection is required due to public health concerns.3 This method will isolate the species L. pneumophila but not all other Legionella spp. L. pneumophila serogroup 1 accounts for the majority of legionellae infections.4 Conditions that favour the isolation of L. pneumophila do not necessarily apply to some Legionella spp. However, treatments and media included in this method are designed to enhance the recovery of other species in addition to L. pneumophila.
