A prospective study was undertaken to evaluate the water quality and bacteria involved in
biofilm production in potable water samples. Potable water samples were collected and …

Biofilm is a collection of usually more than species of microorganisms that are enclosed by a
layer called an exopolysaccharide membrane. The whole biofilm act as a multicellular …

Development of biofilm in water storage tanks deteriorates the quality of drinking water in
homes. The aim of this study was to identify bacteria that produce biofilm in water storage …

Biofilm producing bacteria are associated with many recalcitrant infections and are highly
resistant to antimicrobial agents, hence notoriously difficult to eradicate. This study aimed at …

The change in stored drinking water quality in containers calls for concern due to possible
build up of biofilm by bacteria which find their way into water. The study aimed at …

Providing safe drinking-water, especially to those in developing countries, is still a major
problem. These problems are divers and serious. Worst still, is the issue of scarcity, which …

Biofilm is a heterogeneous bacterial community that is protected against desiccation,
antibiotics, biocides, heavy metals, and ultraviolet radiation by a slime matrix (21) …

Aim: To identify the bacterial isolates, obtained from water pipelines of kitchens, to evaluate
the water quality & to study the biofilm producing capacity of the bacterial isolates from …

Drinking water distribution networks are known to harbor microbial biofilms. The aim of the
present work is to (i) identify the culturable bacteria presented in the drinking-water …

Depending on the bacteria embedded in the extracellular polymeric layer, biofilms can be
advantageous or harmful. The isolated strains used in this investigation are already …
