Secondary disinfectants, such as chlorine and chloramine, have been widely applied to
minimise microbial risks in drinking water during distribution. Key challenges have included …

The application of antimicrobials in the management of wounds is a complex procedure
requiring appropriate clinical decision making, judgment and a thorough understanding of …

Biofilms are ubiquitous in drinking water systems, either in the form of thin and patchy
colonies or as surface-covering multiple layers. In biofilters they are used for the elimination …

Biofilms on pipe walls in water distribution systems are composed of bacteria in a polymeric

Densities of fixed bacterial biomass were measured on different pipe materials (PVC, PE,
cemented steel, asbestos-cement, cemented cast iron, tarred steel and grey iron) incubated …

A model biofilm, formed of multiple species from environmental drinking water, including
opportunistic pathogens, was created to explore the tolerance of multi-species biofilms to …
