Persistence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in chlorinated swimming pools

Abstract: Various types of swimming pools were investigated for the quantitative isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Incidence of the organism increased when the free chlorine residual dropped below 0.4 mg/L in pool water which ad a pH of 6.9-8.9. As the water pH became more alkaline the efficiency of disinfection decreased. Excessive slime production caused certain strains to become more resistent to chlorine treatment. Immunotyping and phage typing, used to study the dynamics of P. aeruginosa populations in swimming … Show more

“…has also been recovered from chlorinated water (Havelaar et al, 1990). It was demonstrated by Hirata et al (1991) that P. aeruginosa was more resistant to chlorine than E. coli, this may be due to the slimes produced by P. aeruginosa (Seyfried and Fraser, 1980). That may support the recommendation of using both Staphylococci and P.aeruginosa as indicators for the satisfactory of the treatment process (Kiss et al, 1983).…”
