متن کاملOpportunistic Premise Plumbing Pathogens: Increasingly Important Pathogens in Drinking Water
Opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens are responsible for a significant number of infections whose origin has been traced to drinking water. These opportunistic pathogens represent an emerging water borne disease problem with a major economic cost of at least $1 billion annually. The common features of this group of waterborne pathogens include: disinfectant-resistance, pipe surface adherenc...
متن کاملOpportunistic pathogens enriched in showerhead biofilms.
The environments we humans encounter daily are sources of exposure to diverse microbial communities, some of potential concern to human health. In this study, we used culture-independent technology to investigate the microbial composition of biofilms inside showerheads as ecological assemblages in the human indoor environment. Showers are an important interface for human interaction with microb...
متن کاملImpact of routine oral care on opportunistic pathogens in the institutionalized elderly.
Routine oral hygiene is important for the control of opportunistic pathogens in the oral cavity of institutionalized elderly individuals. We evaluated the effects of routine oral care on opportunistic pathogens at various time points after admission to a nursing home. Twenty-five elderly subjects living in the nursing home (mean age: 86.0 +/- 10.4 years) participated in the study. Caregivers an...
متن کاملCommon Features of Opportunistic Premise Plumbing Pathogens
Recently it has been estimated that the annual cost of diseases caused by the waterborne pathogens Legionella pneumonia, Mycobacterium avium, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is $500 million. For the period 2001-2012, the estimated cost of hospital admissions for nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease, the majority caused by M. avium, was almost $1 billion. These three waterborne opportunisti...
