In drinking water distribution systems (DWDS), a disinfectant residual is usually applied to
limit bacterial regrowth. However, delivering water with no or reduced chlorine residual …

Biofilms are the dominant form of microbial loading (and organic material) within drinking
water distribution systems (DWDS), yet our understanding of DWDS microbiomes is focused …

The microbiological water quality of drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) is of
primary importance for public health. The detachment of biofilm attached on the pipe wall …

Antibiotic resistance and biodiversity were investigated in microbial communities attached to
inner surfaces of water supply fittings in a chlorinated drinking water distribution system …

Disinfection residuals in drinking water protect water quality and public heath by limiting
planktonic microbial regrowth during distribution. However, we do not consider the …

Drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) are important for supplying high-quality water
