This powerpoint presentation begins by providing study objectives in the following format: if bacterial select agents are introducedafter primary disinfection, would residual disinfectant be sufficient?How would biofilms that are present have an influence onpersistence, disinfectant treatment, andultraviolet (UV) light disinfection? Disinfectant testing in batch experiments is presented, along with Bacillus anthracis Sterne sporesin a model potable water biofilm, Biofilm Reactor Timeline, Biofilm Disinfection, Point-of-UseorPoint-of-entry devices, UV Susceptibility Testing ofBiothreat bacteria, Ultraviolet Light Inactivation ofBacillus anthracis Sterne spores, UV efficacy, and biofilms decrease efficacy ofdisinfectants on B. anthracis spores. Includes table, figures.
