Extended Mycobacteria Library at ALS Environmental

mycobacteria-ALS-croppedBacteria that is highly prevalent in water, Mycobacteria, a genus of Acinobacteria, is a pathogen of concern for immuno compromised humans as it can cause a broad range of serious diseases. ALS Environmental are able to support customers who deal with nosocomial settings by offering a full Mycobacteria speciation at no additional charge to our customers.

Mycobacterium are of concern in healthcare settings due to their antibiotic resistant nature. The bacteria is naturally resistant to penicillin and can be prevalent even in water treated with chlorine. ALS Environmental are able to identify over 40 different species of Mycobacteria including M. bovis (commonly known as Bovine Turbeculosis), M. Gordonae (highly prevalent in soil and water but rarely implicated in disease) and M. Xenopi (associated with immunocompromised infections).

Pervinder Johal, ALS Environmental’s Operations Manager for our Microbiology laboratory in Coventry comments:

 

Mycobacteria analysis is becoming increasingly requested by our customers who deal with healthcare premises. By supporting one of the largest databases in the UK ALS Environmental are able to help our customers in identifying and eradicating this bacteria from nosocmial settings.

Testimonials


We had potential water quality problem due to the actions of a third party and needed samples taken as a matter of urgency. Although this was outside the strict terms of our contract with ALS they were able to provide a sampler on a Friday afternoon, get the samples taken and returned to their labs for analysis.

They backed this excellent performance up by emailing us the sample results over the weekend. All in all a great piece of customer service!
