Fate of Salmonella Typhimurium in biofilms of drinking water distribution systems
The propensity of Salmonella to persist in water environments under unfavourable conditions is of concern as these water environments serve as contamination reservoirs. The role of contaminated water in the transmission of Salmonella in developing countries is largely unknown. The fate and …

The role of biofilms in Legionella pneumophila transmission in drinking water distribution system
Biofilms in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) or premise plumbing systems could facilitate the persistence and transmission of pathogenic Legionella pneumophila (L. pneumophila), thus raise human health concerns. L. pneumophila cells can accumulate in biofilms, be protected from …

Design of multidimensional microplasma array for biofilm removal and dynamic photonic crystals
… arrays and understanding their interactions with biofilms and electromagnetic waves. Biofilms are ubiquitous in municipal drinking water distribution systems, and they present significant human health concerns because they often harbor pathogens. Biofilms serve as pathogen reservoirs by supplying …

Limitations to Use Copper as an Antimicrobial Control of Legionella in Potable Water Plumbing Systems
… Legionella is the leading cause of reported waterborne disease outbreaks in the United States. Legionella can thrive under the warm, stagnant, low-disinfectant conditions characteristic of premise (i.e., building) plumbing systems, making it challenging to identify effective interventions for …
