Legionella isolation medium for water samples

The medium is based on the charcoal yeast extract formulation of Feeley et al., with the addition of ACES (N-2- acetamido-2-aminoethane-sulphonic acid) buffer and a-ketoglutarate for enhanced performance. It is detailed in internationally recognised methodology for the isolation of Legionella species from water samples. Furthermore, a range of selective supplements, used in conjunction with heat and acid treatments, aid isolation from water heavily contaminated with other bacteria.
