Pathogens in Model Distribution System Biofilms

Legionella are pervasive environmental bacteria that can incidentally cause severe and sometimes fatal infections upon inhalation. Because Legionella inhabit engineered environments and proliferate in warm, stagnant premise water...

Utilities and regulators need guidance to demonstrate that flushing is a corrective action under the Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) by preventing coliform regrowth and biofilm formation, reducing...

This project focused on bacterial pathogens that can persist, and potentially grow, in aquatic biofilms. The research described how bacterial pathogens form biofilms and interact with pre-existing environmental...
