Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (ATCC 9027) Tests

Pseudomonas is a type of bacteria (germ) commonly found in the environment as well as in soil and water. Of the many different pseudomonas species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common cause of infection in humans, and this species is can cause infections in the blood, lungs (pneumonia), or other parts of the body after surgery. These bacteria are constantly finding new ways to avoid the effects of the antibiotics used to treat the infections they cause. Antibiotic resistance occurs when microbes no longer respond to antibiotics designed to kill them. If they develop resistance to several types of antibiotics, these microbes become multidrug resistant. Especially people who are connected to breathing machines, who use devices such as catheters and who have surgical wounds are at risk.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa lives in the environment and can spread to humans when exposed to water or soil contaminated with these microbes. Resistant strains of germs can be spread from one person to another through contaminated hands, equipment or surfaces in healthcare settings.

The ATCC 9027 standard, developed by the ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) Standards Development Organization, describes the efficacy test, media test, and preparatory test controls of the pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium used in the assay of antimicrobial preservatives.

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. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027) testing services are among the numerous tests performed in this context.
