The study focuses on the occurrence of bacteria of the genus Ralstonia in various apparatuses producing of purified water (Aqua purificata) even in cases where the total numbers of aerobic microorganisms meet the requirements of the Czech Pharmacopoeia and also shows possible differences in detection methods of aerobic organotrophic microorganisms (media, inoculation). The presence of Ralstonia is common in purified water, and although this type of water may not be sterile, it should not contain potentially pathogenic microorganisms when used in specific cases (age of patient, riskful diagnosis, application to damaged skin or mucosa).

Keywords: Aqua purificata, Ralstonia, methods of detection, potential pathogens.
