Comparison of Enterolert-E and ISO 7899-2 Membrane Filtration Method for the Detection of Enterococci in Water Samples
Enterolert-E和ISO 7899-2膜过滤法检测水样中肠球菌的比较
Enterococci spp. is an indicator microorganism routinely tested in Europe for
water quality. The current ISO method for the detection and enumeration of intestinal
enterococci (method 7899-2) is a 48-hour membrane filtration method using Slanetz &
Bartley medium followed by a two-hour confirmation procedure using bile-esculin-azide
agar. Enterolert-E (IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. Westbrook, ME, USA) is based on IDEXX's
Define Substrate Technology for detecting Enterococci spp. in water samples. This
medium when used with IDEXX's Quanti-tray or Quanti-tray/2000 provides quantitative
confirmatory results in 24 hours.
