Bacteria-laden biofilms located on the lumen surface of dental unit water lines have resulted in the persistent and widespread microbial contamination of dental unit water supplies. These biofilms are resistant to chemical disinfection. As such, they act as reservoirs that facilitate the continuous re-contamination of dental unit water. The microbial populations of the biofilms found in dental unit water lines include opportunistic pathogens of unknown significance. Strategies to control the contamination are discussed.
位于牙科设备水管内腔表面的含细菌生物膜，已导致牙科设备供水持续且广泛地受到微生物污染。这些生物膜对化学消毒具有抗性。因此，它们充当了促进牙科设备用水持续再次污染的储存库。在牙科设备水管中发现的生物膜的微生物群落包括意义不明的机会性病原体。文中讨论了控制污染的策略。
