The effectiveness of two major UV technologies against a highly prevalent species of Mycobacterium avium complex was investigated. Our study indicates that M. avium is much more resistant to UV irradiation than most waterborne pathogens and that it is one of the rare microorganisms that are highly resistant to both chemical and UV disinfection in water.
研究了两种主要紫外线技术对一种高度流行的鸟分枝杆菌复合群的有效性。我们的研究表明,鸟分枝杆菌比大多数水生病原体对紫外线照射更具抗性,并且它是极少数对水中化学消毒和紫外线消毒都具有高度抗性的微生物之一。
