ISO 11731:2017 specifies culture methods for the isolation of Legionella and estimation of their numbers in water samples. These methods are applicable to all kinds of water samples including potable, industrial, waste and natural waters. These methods can be used for water related matrices, e.g. biofilms, sediments, etc. Not all Legionella species are culturable; therefore, the methods described in this document do not recover all species of Legionella.

<p>ISO 11731-2:2004 describes a monitoring method for the isolation and enumeration of <i>Legionella</i> organisms in water intended for human use (e.g. hot and cold water, water used for washing), for human consumption and for treated bathing waters (e.g. swimming pools). It is especially suitable for waters with prospected low numbers of <i>Legionella</i>. As the growth of <i>Legionella</i> may be inhibited by overgrowth of other bacterial colonies on the membrane the method is only suitable for waters containing low bacterial. </p>
