Photodynamic Inactivation of Opportunistic Premise Plumbing Pathogens and Their Biofilms

Processes, 2023
Opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens (OPPPs) form a group of microorganisms that normally live in water supply systems and have adapted especially well to the conditions in premise plumbing systems, and as such pose a threat to human health. Since the beginning of the 21st century, this threat has been escalating, and it is becoming increasingly ...

The Presence of Opportunistic Premise Plumbing Pathogens in Residential Buildings: A Literature Review

Water (Switzerland), 2022
Opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens (OPPP) are microorganisms that are native to the plumbing environment and that present an emerging infectious disease problem. They share characteristics, such as disinfectant resistance, thermal tolerance, and biofilm formation.

A Critical Review on the Factors that Influence Opportunistic Premise Plumbing Pathogens: From Building Entry to Fixtures in Residences

Environmental Science & Technology, 2023
Residential buildings provide unique conditions for opportunistic premise plumbing pathogen (OPPP) exposure via aerosolized water droplets produced by showerheads, faucets, and tubs. The objective of this review was to critically evaluate the existing literature that assessed the impact of potentially enhancing conditions to OPPP occurrence associated ...
