    Natural Organic Matter, Orthophosphate, pH, and Growth Phase Can Limit Copper Antimicrobial Efficacy for Legionella in Drinking Water 

    Song, Yang; Pruden, Amy; Edwards, Marc A.; Rhoads, William J. (2021-02-02)
    Copper (Cu) is a promising antimicrobial for premise plumbing, where ions can be dosed directly via copper silver ionization or released naturally via corrosion of Cu pipes, but Cu sometimes inhibits and other times ...

    Opportunistic Premise Plumbing Pathogens: Increasingly Important Pathogens in Drinking Water. 

    Falkinham, Joseph O. III; Pruden, Amy; Edwards, Marc A. (MDPI, 2015-06-09)
    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 ...

    Convective Mixing in Distal Pipes Exacerbates Legionella pneumophila Growth in Hot Water Plumbing. 

    Rhoads, William J.; Pruden, Amy; Edwards, Marc A. (MDPI, 2016-03-12)
    Legionella pneumophila is known to proliferate in hot water plumbing systems, but little is known about the specific physicochemical factors that contribute to its regrowth. Here, L. pneumophila trends were examined in ...

    Relationship between Organic Carbon and Opportunistic Pathogens in Simulated Glass Water Heaters 

    Williams, Krista; Pruden, Amy; Falkinham, Joseph O. III; Edwards, Marc A. (MDPI, 2015-06-09)
    Controlling organic carbon levels in municipal water has been hypothesized to limit downstream growth of bacteria and opportunistic pathogens in premise plumbing (OPPPs). Here, the relationships between influent organic ...

    Interactive Effects of Copper Pipe, Stagnation, Corrosion Control, and Disinfectant Residual Influenced Reduction of Legionella pneumophila during Simulations of the Flint Water Crisis 

    Martin, Rebekah L.; Strom, Owen R.; Pruden, Amy; Edwards, Marc A. (MDPI, 2020-09-04)
    Flint, MI experienced two outbreaks of Legionnaires&rsquo; Disease (LD) during the summers of 2014 and 2015, coinciding with use of Flint River as a drinking water source without corrosion control. Using simulated distribution ...

    Chlorine Disinfection of Legionella spp., L. pneumophila, and Acanthamoeba under Warm Water Premise Plumbing Conditions 

    Martin, Rebekah L.; Harrison, Kara; Proctor, Caitlin R.; Martin, Amanda; Williams, Krista; Pruden, Amy; Edwards, Marc A. (MDPI, 2020-09-22)
    Premise plumbing conditions can contribute to low chlorine or chloramine disinfectant residuals and reactions that encourage opportunistic pathogen growth and create risk of Legionnaires&rsquo; Disease outbreaks. This ...

    Experimental determination of the oral bioavailability and bioaccessibility of lead particles 

    Deshommes, Elise; Tardif, Robert; Edwards, Marc A.; Sauvé, Sébastien; Prévost, Michèle (2012-11-22)
    In vivo estimations of Pb particle bioavailability are costly and variable, because of the nature of animal assays. The most feasible alternative for increasing the number of investigations carried out on Pb particle ...

    Water heater temperature set point and water use patterns influence Legionella pneumophila and associated microorganisms at the tap 

    Rhoads, William J.; Ji, Pan; Pruden, Amy; Edwards, Marc A. (Biomed Central Ltd, 2015-12-01)
    Background Lowering water heater temperature set points and using less drinking water are common approaches to conserving water and energy; yet, there are discrepancies in past literature regarding the effects of water ...

    Effect of heat shock on hot water plumbing microbiota and Legionella pneumophila control 

    Ji, Pan; Rhoads, William J.; Edwards, Marc A.; Pruden, Amy (2018-02-09)
    Background Heat shock is a potential control strategy for Legionella pneumophila in hot water plumbing systems. However, it is not consistently effective, with little understanding of its influence on the broader plumbing ...
