Abstract

ABSTRACT The study was to determine the efficacy of copper-silver ionization against the formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Stenotrophomonas maltophilia , and Acinetobacter baumannii in biofilms and planktonic phases. At concentrations below the EPA limits, ionization has potential to control the three waterborne pathogens, in addition to Legionella , in hospital water systems for nosocomial infection control.
