Relationship between Organic Carbon and Opportunistic Pathogens in Simulated Glass Water Heaters

Pathogens, 2015
Controlling organic carbon levels in municipal water has been hypothesized to limit downstream growth of bacteria and opportunistic pathogens in premise plumbing (OPPPs).

Critical factors controlling regrowth of opportunistic pathogens in premise plumbing

, 2013
Opportunistic pathogens (e.g., Legionella pneumophila, Mycobacterium avium complex, Acanthamoeba polyphaga, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) residing in human-made water systems, particularly premise plumbing, are now the primary source of water-borne disease in developed countries.

Tracking the spread routes of opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens in a haematology unit with water points-of-use protected by antimicrobial filters

Journal of Hospital Infection, 2018
Water networks in hospitals are frequently contaminated by opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens (OPPPs) leading to installation of antimicrobial filters on water points-of-use (POU) in order to limit patients' exposure.To assess the spread of OPPPs through secondary water routes (outside the plumbing system) in an adult haematology unit in which 52

Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Bacterial Community in Premise Plumbing before and after Water Stagnation

Journal of Water and Environment Technology, 2023
Drinking water stagnation in premise plumbing leads to regrowth of microorganisms, including opportunistic pathogens. Although many studies have evaluated the changes in bacterial community structure, little data are available on the ...

Water, Water Everywhere, but Every Drop Unique: Challenges in the Science to Understand the Role of Contaminants of Emerging Concern in the Management of Drinking Water Supplies

GeoHealth, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
Abstract The protection and management of water resources continues to be challenged by multiple and ongoing factors such as shifts in demographic, social, economic, and public health requirements. Physical limitations placed on access to potable supplies include natural and human‐caused factors such as aquifer depletion, aging infrastructure ...

Chlorine Disinfection of Legionella spp., L. pneumophila, and Acanthamoeba under Warm Water Premise Plumbing Conditions

Microorganisms, 2020
Premise plumbing conditions can contribute to low chlorine or chloramine disinfectant residuals and reactions that encourage opportunistic pathogen growth and create risk of Legionnaires’ Disease outbreaks.
