Discover Findings from Recent Studies on L. pneumophila and Cryptosporidium
From our new Journal Club pages, read about the results of a recent study comparing six ISO 11731:2017 standardized culture techniques for detecting Legionella in 276 hospital hot-water samples. Which one came out best?
Foodborne Cryptosporidium outbreaks remain largely undetected due to technical challenges in environmental testing. Our Journal Club page highlights some work that provides a validated, field-ready molecular toolkit for integrated monitoring of protozoan pathogens within the water–soil–plant–food nexus. By enabling harmonized detection from source water to edible crops, the approach offers a practical foundation for risk reduction strategies in produce production and irrigation management.
Journal Club: A multicenter study systematically compared six ISO 11731:2017 standardized culture techniques for detecting Legionella in 276 hospital hot-water samples. Detection rates varied significantly depending on the method used.
