Abstract

We performed chlorine inactivation experiments for Elizabethkingia anophelis and E. meningoseptica bacterial strains from clinical and environmental sources. Free chlorine concentration × contact time values <0.04 mg·min/L achieved 99.9% inactivation of Elizabethkingia species, indicating chlorine susceptibility. Measures to control biofilm producing pathogens in plumbing are needed to prevent Elizabethkingia bacterial infections.

氯对水中伊丽莎白金丝楠属的灭活作用

我们对来自临床和环境的伊丽莎白金格氏菌（Elizabethkingia anophelis）和门宁格氏菌（E. meningoseptica）菌株进行了氯灭活实验。游离氯浓度 × 接触时间值为 0.04 mg-min/L，对伊丽莎白金格氏菌的灭活率达到 99.9%，这表明了氯的敏感性。需要采取措施控制冷热水管道中产生生物膜的病原体，以防止伊丽莎白金格细菌感染。

期刊介绍： Emerging Infectious Diseases is a monthly open access journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The primary goal of this peer-reviewed journal is to advance the global recognition of both new and reemerging infectious diseases, while also enhancing our understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to disease emergence, prevention, and elimination. Targeted towards professionals in the field of infectious diseases and related sciences, the journal encourages diverse contributions from experts in academic research, industry, clinical practice, public health, as well as specialists in economics, social sciences, and other relevant disciplines. By fostering a collaborative approach, Emerging Infectious Diseases aims to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and address the multifaceted challenges posed by infectious diseases.
