Biofilm is the main tool for microorganisms to is the main tool for microorganisms to survive and multiply in waste water survive and multiply in waste water environments ( e.g. drain traps ) environments ( e.g. drain traps )
Within this biofilm biofilm a lot of excellent conditions a lot of excellent conditions necessary for growth of microbes in waste water necessary for growth of microbes in waste water tubes can be found. tubes can be found.
Because the biofilm biofilm acts as protective barrier acts as protective barrier against anti against anti-
microbial substances it can be a possibility for expression of resistance against possibility for expression of resistance against antibiotics antibiotics. .

Drain traps are permanent “ “open
” reservoirs of pathogenic and reservoirs of pathogenic and non non -
pathogenic microorganisms, bacteria, yeast and fungi, respectively. respectively.
This means there is a uncovered surface between the upper surface of the contaminated sealing liquid and the room air. surface of the contaminated sealing liquid and the room air. When the sink is used this surface is moved, an aerosol is When the sink is used this surface is moved, an aerosol is formed and so an exchange of microorganisms between liquid formed and so an exchange of microorganisms between liquid and air occurs. and air occurs.

Bacteria (e.g. Pseudomonas aeruginosa aeruginosa) can survive up to 70 ) can survive up to 70 minutes on hands of hospital personnel and therefore minutes on hands of hospital personnel and therefore transmission to the patient is possible. transmission to the patient is possible.

The results show that the self self-
disinfecting drain trap significantly reduces the significantly reduces the rate of colonization of rate of colonization of patients patients. .
Therefore it is to be expected that a expected that a significant significant decrease of incidence rate decrease of incidence rate
nosocomial infections infections will be found if the number will be found if the number
high enough high enough. .
