  • Method for controlling the microbiological quality of an aqueous medium and kit therefor
    Publication number: 20080171314
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling the microbiological quality of an environmental aqueous medium, suspected of containing various micro-organisms, having the following steps: selecting a reference set, having at least three micro-organisms, representing jointly or separately a microbiological quality level; providing a microbiological detection kit, having at least three probes specifically and respectively identifying said three micro-organisms; after treating the medium to be analyzed, contacting said micro-organisms, or any fraction thereof derived from the medium to be analyzed therefrom, with said detection kit, whereby a multiple determination of the micro-organisms is carried out, the determination representing the microbiological quality level of the medium.
