OXOID LEGIONELLA BCYE GROWTH SUPPLEMENT
Reason
A technical investigation has found that specific Lots of Oxoid Legionella BCYE growth supplement (SR0110A) may not deliver adequate recovery of Legionella Pneumophila when used in conjunction with Oxoid Legionella medium (CM0655) and also with Oxoid Legionella selective supplement variants. Continued use of these Lots could result in false negative reporting.
