Summary

A two-stage chemostat model of a plumbing system was developed, with tap water as the sole nutrient source. It was used to develop biofilms on the surfaces of a range of eight plumbing materials under controlled, reproducible conditions. The materials varied in their abilities to support biofilm development and the growth of L. pneumophila.
