Standards Development
This proposal is presented to develop a standard method that can be applied for the enhanced isolation and enumeration of Acinetobacter baumannii in various environmental aquatic niches including agricultural, wastewater effluents, recreational, ground- and well waters using membrane filtration method.
Acinetobacter baumannii has, recently, been reported in aquatic environments and in samples regardless of the presence or absence of human and/or animal fecal material. Since the presence of fecal indicator bacteria are most often used to predict the probability of waterborne pathogen outbreaks in natural waters, the isolation and detection of A. baumannii, will assist in the monitoring of waterborne disease outbreaks. This document provides a standardize approach for enumeration of A. baumannii in the water. Moreover, the standard will be written to ensure that analysts performing the method analysis work in safe and secure format, which is necessarily required for risk group-2 bacterial pathogens. Similarly, the use of standards developed by this Technical Committee will ensure that clean waters are used by the implementation of regulatory and compliance strategies with an assurance that the end-users are protected.
