CONTROL OF PROTOZOA AND PROTONZOAN CYSTS THAT HARBOR LEGIONELLA

A method of controlling protozoa trophozoite and cysts is disclosed, comprising administering a phosphonium salt of the formula: (R1)3P-R2.X-, wherein R1 is an alkyl group having from 1-8 carbons and R2 is a chain substituent having 6-20 carbons, to aqueous systems harboring protozoa trophozoites an...

Zusammenfassung:A method of controlling protozoa trophozoite and cysts is disclosed, comprising administering a phosphonium salt of the formula: (R1)3P-R2.X-, wherein R1 is an alkyl group having from 1-8 carbons and R2 is a chain substituent having 6-20 carbons, to aqueous systems harboring protozoa trophozoites and cysts. Addition of such phosphonium salts to aqueous systems was found to be effective at killing both the protozoa trophozoites and cysts. By effectively killing both the protozoa trophozoites and cysts, organism such as Legionella cells harbored in both the trophozoites and cysts are killed.
