Inactivation of bacterial biothreat agents in water, a review.

摘要: Water supplies and water distribution systems have been identified as potential targets for contamination by bacterial biothreat agents. Since the 2001 Bacillus anthracis bioterrorist attacks, additional efforts aimed at research to characterize organisms in regards their susceptibility disinfectants technologies currently use potable water. Here, we present a review of relevant disinfection bacteria with pose severe threat public health safety, surrogates. The efficacy chlorine, monochloramine, chlorine dioxide, ultraviolet light inactivate each organism suspension is described. complexities under varying conditions when are associated biofilms discussed.
