The effect of ozonation of supply water for one wing of an unoccupied hospital building which had positive cultures for Legionella pneumophila from multiple potable water fixtures was studied in a prospective, controlled fashion. Mean ozone residual concentrations of 0.79 mg/liter eradicated L. pneumophila from the fixtures, but so did nonozonated water in the control wing fixtures. The efficacy of the nonozonated water was most probably due to a mechanical flushing effect and to an unexpected rise in the chlorine content of the supply water. Determination of the in vitro activity of ozone against L. pneumophila did not predict the efficacy of its eradication from water fixtures treated with ozone.
以一种前瞻性、对照性的方式,研究了对一栋无人居住的医院建筑某一翼的供水进行臭氧处理的效果,该建筑多个饮用水装置的嗜肺军团菌培养结果呈阳性。平均臭氧残留浓度为0.79毫克/升时,装置中的嗜肺军团菌被根除,但对照翼装置中的未经过臭氧处理的水也达到了同样效果。未经过臭氧处理的水产生效果很可能是由于机械冲洗作用以及供水氯含量意外升高。对臭氧针对嗜肺军团菌的体外活性测定,无法预测其对经臭氧处理的水装置中嗜肺军团菌的根除效果。
