Confluent growth means a bacterial growth that covers the entire filtration area of the filter with no discrete colonies when performing microbiological analysis by the membrane-filter techniques listed in Categories [DW1, WP1 and SHW1] DW01, NPW01 and SCM01. When confluent growth occurs, another sample must be obtained and analyzed using higher dilutions for the membrane-filter technique or using another approved technique.
