Description

This laboratory test will check your water sample for the presence of Salmonella. Salmonella are part of the family of Enterobacteriaceae and are widely available in the environment and can infect humans as well as animals including livestock. Salmonella can contaminate tap water, water used for irrigation of crops, drinking water for livestock and recreational water. They often enter water through faecal bacteria from sewage discharge, wild animals or livestock. Salmonella infections can cause gastroenteritis, septicaemia and typhoid / enteric fever.

Bacterial contamination may not be detected by taste, smell or sight. Floods, human or animal waste, like insects, rodents or animals entering a water supply can be a cause for bacteria.

Arranging a laboratory test is easy and our service includes everything required to carry out the analysis.

Once you have ordered on our website, we will send you a water sample bottle, clear instructions and pre-paid return packaging.
