Title: | Efficiency of Biocides on the Aquatic Systems Through Bacterial Model | Authors: | Banciu, Alina Ionescu, Lucian Ionica, Daniela Nita-Lazar, Mihai |
Keywords: | Biocides;Bacterial resistance;Bactericidal efficiency | Issue Date: | Jan-2020 | Publisher: | SYSCOM 18 SRL | Abstract: | Various biocide technologies have been used successfully in water treatment applications for many years, but their constantly increased production and excessive usage has considerable environmental and economic impacts. In addition, the aggressive use of biocides in more and more fields such as agriculture, livestock growth, and fish farming increased the risk to public health. This measures can lead to the selection of pathogens insusceptible to the main available antimicrobials. Antimicrobials resistance is even more significant when cells are embedded in a biofilm especially in water systems. A variety of microorganisms can be found in swimming pool waters which may be introduced in a number of ways. The disinfection of bathing water is generally achieved by chlorine of chlorine-based products, but alternative more eco-friendly methods such as active oxygen are used more frequently. In this paper, compared the biocides efficiency of two compounds based on chlorine or active oxygen. Although it was assumed that the two biocides have the same mechanism of action and efficiency, we showed in this study that biocides efficiency depends on the bacterial membrane structure and the active oxygen had an increased efficacy against microorganisms compared to chlorine. |
