Pseudomonas aeruginosa in water is an opportunistic bacterium able to grow in wet plumbing systems and form biofilm, especially where water stagnates.

What does Pseudomonas aeruginosa in water mean in practice?

Results depend on hygienic sampling, location and stagnation time; one colonised tap does not necessarily mean source contamination.

When does it matter?

It is particularly relevant in healthcare, pools and packaged water and for immunocompromised users.

Which solutions are related to it?

Locate colonisation, clean and disinfect the system, remove stagnation and confirm success by repeat testing.
