Eurofins Water Hygiene Testing UK Ltd. provides UKAS No. 9658 and 1369 accredited testing for total Pseudomonas species, helping organisations assess system hygiene, microbial balance, and the early signs of biofilm formation or control issues in water systems.
Understanding Pseudomonas species in water
While Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most recognised pathogen, other Pseudomonas species also play an important role in water system monitoring. These organisms, commonly found in storage tanks, distribution networks, and biofilm-prone areas, may not always be harmful but can signal stagnation, inadequate treatment, or microbial imbalance. Testing for total Pseudomonas species provides a broader understanding of system hygiene and helps identify issues before they escalate into compliance or health concerns.
Why monitor for Pseudomonas species
Broader Pseudomonas testing is ideal for
-
Monitoring biofilm development and microbial proliferation
-
Tracking long-term trends in water system cleanliness
-
Verifying hygiene in commercial, leisure, and industrial water systems
-
Supporting risk assessments for new or ageing infrastructure
Pseudomonas species can form biofilms and restrict flow in pipework. Although not all species are pathogenic, elevated levels may indicate conditions favourable to more harmful microorganisms, making total Pseudomonas testing an important part of proactive water management.
