RII Track-4: NSF: Insights into Pathogenicity of Chlorine-Stressed Bacteria Using Combined — NSF Award to New Mexico State Univers

Bacterial pathogens in water pose a significant worldwide threat to public health, especially for individuals with weakened immune systems. Currently, chlorination is the most widely used water disinfection process to cause the inactivation of microorganisms in the water to ensure public and environmental health. While

AbstractBacterial pathogens in water pose a significant worldwide threat to public health, especially for individuals with weakened immune systems. Currently, chlorination is the most widely used water disinfection process to cause the inactivation of microorganisms in the water to ensure public and environmental health. While most bacteria in water can be effectively killed after chlorination, some may survive due to their resistance to disinfectants. There has yet to be a comprehensive study to invest
