Development of antiseptic adaptation and cross-adapatation in selected oral pathogens in vitro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
There is evidence that pathogenic bacteria can adapt to antiseptics upon repeated exposure. More alarming is the concomitant increase in antibiotic resistance that has been described for some pathogens.

Discharge and fate of biocide residuals to ephemeral stormwater retention pond sediments

open access: yesHydrology Research, 2022
Biocides used in paints and renders prevent algae and fungi growth but can wash off during wind-driven rain and enter urban environments. Retention ponds represent part of stormwater management that retain water and partly pollutants.
