摘要

A lack of standardization of environmental monitoring techniques for Legionella spp. complicates the interpretation of results and comparisons of results from different institutions. A comparative assessment of techniques recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Hygiene Institute (Graz, Austria), and our laboratory was performed. Variables investigated were sampling method (swabbing and collection of water samples [250 ml] before and after swabbing), method of concentration (none, filtration, and centrifugation), acid buffer treatment (no acid treatment, treatment for 3 min, and treatment for 15 min), and choice of medium (five formulations of buffered charcoal yeast extract agar with glycine, vancomycin, polymyxin B, anisomycin, or cycloheximide). Thirty-three sites in seven hospital buildings were studied. Recovery by swab correlated with recovery from water after swabbing (P < 0.05). However, the quantity of Legionella spp. recovered from swab specimens (mean, 3.0 x 10(4) CFU per swab) was greater than that recovered from water (mean, 4.7 x 10(3) CFU/250 ml). Filtration resulted in recovery rates (mean, 5.2 x 10(3) CFU/250 ml) higher than those by centrifugation (mean, 2.3 x 10(3) CFU/250 ml). Three minutes of acid buffer treatment to reduce overgrowth by commensal flora did not improve selectivity or sensitivity for Legionella spp. if glycine-containing selective media were used. Fifteen minutes of acid buffer treatment reduced recovery compared with that after a 3-min treatment. All glycine-containing media tested effectively inhibited background flora, but one selective medium containing dyes, glycine, vancomycin, and polymyxin B (DGVP) resulted in the greatest quantitative recovery of Legionella pneumophila.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
