Bacteria Test on Pipe & Fittings
The test shows the ability of our PVC Pipe & Fittings to inhibit/control the growth of bacteria.
More specifically, the pipe & fitting was exposed to two types of bacteria, Staphylococcus Aureus
& Klebsiella Pneumoniae. Staphylococcus aureus - literally "Golden Cluster Seed" and also known as golden staph, is the most common cause of staph infections. It is a spherical bacterium, frequently living on the skin or
in the nose of a person, that can cause a range of illnesses from minor skin infections, such as pimples,
impetigo, boils, cellulitis and abscesses, to life-threatening diseases, such as pneumonia, meningitis,
endocarditis, Toxic shock syndrome (TSS), and septicemia. Abbreviated to S. aureus or Staph aureus in medical
literature, S. aureus should not be confused with the similarly named (and also medically relevant) species of the genus Streptococcus. Klebsiella pneumoniae - A Gram-negative, non-motile, encapsulated, lactose fermenting, facultative anaerobic, rod shaped bacterium found in the normal flora of the mouth, skin, and intestines.[1] It is clinically the most important member of the Klebsiella genus of Enterobacteriaceae; it is closely related to K. oxytoca from which it is distinguished by being indole-negative and by its ability to grow on both melezitose and 3-hydroxybutyrate. It naturally occurs in the soil and about 30% of strains can fix nitrogen in anaerobic condition. As a free-living diazotroph, its nitrogen fixation system has been much studied. In summary, there was no bacterial growth under test specimen when exposed to these two bacteria’s mentioned above.
