Escherichia Coli (ATCC 8739) Tests

Escherichia coli normally lives in the intestines of both healthy humans and animals. Many species are generally harmless. It helps digest food consumed. Some types cause diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach aches and cramps. These can lead to kidney failure if not managed properly. The most common way of exposure to Escherichia coli bacteria is through contaminated food. Most people recover within a week without medication. But some escherichia coli infections can be dangerous.

Escherichia coli is a rod-shaped bacterium. It can live in airy or airless environments. Anyone who comes in contact with a disease-causing strain of escherichia coli can become infected. People at greatest risk are: newborns and children, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems (for example, cancer and diabetes patients, and pregnant women).

Developed by the ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) Standards Development Organization, the ATCC 8739 standard is for research use only. Not intended for any animal or human therapeutic or diagnostic use. This standard is used as a preparatory test control, testing of antimicrobial handwash formulations, analysis of antimicrobial preservatives, and environment testing.

In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Among the numerous tests conducted in this context, there are also escherichia coli (ATCC 8739) testing services.
