    Abstract:

    Objective To understand the formation of bacterial biofilm in polyvinyl chloride(PVC) hoses pipeline at the connection end of hemodialysis device and water supply loop, and control bacterial biofilm in water treatment system. Methods The hoses were divided into two groups(group A and B) according to their service life and material, group A was transparent hoses used for 7 years and group B was red opaque hoses used for 5 years, specimens of group A and B were conducted different experimental treatment (group A1 and B1 didn't undergo any treatment; group A2 and B2 immersed in hydrogen peroxide disinfectant for 20 minutes; group A3 and B3:the inner wall of hoses were stirred with sterile cotton swabs and immersed in hydrogen peroxide disinfectant for 20 minutes), bacterial biofilm was observed under electron microscope. Results Group A1 showed formation of overlapped and reticulated biofilm; group A2 and A3 showed that there were fissure and crack in bacterial biofilm, which could not completely fall off. In group B1, the planar bulges were bacterial biofilm; group B2 showed scattered globules; group B3 showed the presence of free rod-like bacteria. Group A hoses (without any experimental treatment) were scanned by electron microscope at different multiples, showing that they were mainly composed of clustered bacteria. Conclusion The removal efficiency of bacterial biofilm is closely related to the complexity and overlapping degree of its morphology and structure. The study on hose material, time point of bacterial biofilm formation and disinfection treatment method for the connection of hemodialysis device and water supply loop can better carry out the control strategy research of bacterial biofilm in water treatment system.
