Controlling Legionella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa re-growth in therapeutic spas: implementation of physical disinfection treatments, including UV/ultrafiltration, in a respiratory hydrotherapy system

The study aimed to assess the efficacy of an integrated water safety plan (WSP) in controlling Legionella re-growth in a respiratory hydrotherapy system located in a spa centre, supplied with sulphurous water, which was initially colonized by Legionella pneumophila. Heterotrophic plate counts, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Legionella spp. were detected in water samples taken 6-monthly from the ...

Microbiological and particle risk assessment of a cleanroom and aseptic filling line

Abstract A theoretical case study involving the steps of classification, risk assessment and monitoring plan verification was conducted. The classification used total particle concentration and environmental monitoring data and established routine microbiological and particle monitoring points for an aseptic filling line. The cleanroom utilized Grade A, B, C and D zones. After classification, a ...
