Journal ArticleDOI
Survival of Coliform Bacteria in Natural Waters: Field and Laboratory Studies with Membrane-Filter Chambers
TL;DR: When the survival of a water-isolated fecal coliform bacterium was examined in two adjacent mountain streams, it was found that the organism persisted longer in Bozeman Creek than in Middle Creek, and may be a reflection of the water chemistry because the concentration of inorganic constituents of the former was greater.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilm resistance to antimicrobial agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative survival of indicator bacteria and enteric pathogens in well water.
TL;DR: The natural populations of indicator bacteria from human and elk fecal material declined similarly to the pure cultures tested, whereas the die-off of fecal streptococci exceeded the coliforms from bovine fecalMaterial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonuniform spatial patterns of respiratory activity within biofilms during disinfection.
TL;DR: Epifluorescence micrographs of frozen biofilm cross sections clearly revealed gradients of respiratory activity within biofilms in response to monochloramine treatment, quantified by calculating the ratio of CTC and DAPI intensities measured by image analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced susceptibility of thin Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms to hydrogen peroxide and monochloramine
TL;DR: It was hypothesized that new genes are expressed when bacteria attach to a surface and begin to form a biofilm and that some of the resulting gene products reduce the susceptibility of the cell to antimicrobial agents including oxidative biocides such as monochloramine and hydrogen peroxide.
