Vantine Executive Summary: Clean Water Environmental s SAFI antimicrobial product was evaluated to determine its antimicrobial efficacy in respect to disinfecting drinking water contaminated with bacterial pathogens. Test water was prepared with a designated copper concentration of the SAFI product and then challenge populations were monitored for 24 hours. The efficacy studies demonstrated that the SAFI product, at an active copper concentration of 1ppm, achieved greater than a 4.28 log reduction of Shigella dysenteriae at 4 hr and 24 hr. The 10ppm concentration of the SAFI product also resulted in significant reduction in viability of Escherichia coli at 24 hour (>6.96 log). Thank you for having your product tested by NSF International. Please contact your Project Manager if you have any questions or concerns pertaining to this report. Report Authorization: Robert Donofrio Director, Applied Research Center Scope of Test Report
2 The antibacterial properties of the SAFI product were tested against two challenge organisms: Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 and Shigella dysenteriae ATCC E.coli is a representative gram negative bacterium and one of the most well-known fecal-coliforms. S. dysenteriae is also a gram negative rod and is the causative agent of bacillary dysentery. A suspension of 1 x 10 8 for each challenge organism was prepared and exposed to SAFI product with various Copper concentrations. The surviving populations of the microorganisms were then evaluated at specified time points. Methodology The following organisms have been included in the study. o E. coli ATCC 8739 o S. dysenteriae ATCC 9361 Organism Preparation Escherichia. coli ATCC o 4 days prior to the Time Kill Study- 0.1mL of the organism was transferred from freezer stock to 10mL Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) and incubated at 35 C for approximately 24 hours. This is referred to as the Day 1 culture. o 3 days prior to the Time Kill Study- 1mL of the Day 1 culture was passed to two 250mL bottles of TSB and incubated at 35 C for approximately 24 hours. This is referred to as the Day 2 culture. o 2 days prior to the Time Kill Study- Both 250 ml cultures were submitted to centrifugation at 3500 rpm for 10 minutes. The pellet was then resuspended in 50 ml using sterile phosphate buffer (approximately 0.25M). Shigella dysenteriae ATCC 9361 o 2 days prior to the Time Kill Study- 0.1 ml the organism was passed to a bottle of 1L TSB and incubated at 35 C for approximately 24 hours. o 1 day prior to the Time Kill Study- The 1L culture was submitted to centrifugation at 3500 rpm for 10 minutes. The pellet was then resuspended in 50 ml sterile phosphate buffer (approximately 0.25M).
3 The bacterial challenge stocks were added to the test water so that a minimum concentration of 1 x 10 8 is achieved at the start of the study. Preparation of the Test Water NSF Chemistry lab prepared test water to match the following profile water characteristics: - Free of any chlorine or other disinfectant residual - ph 6.5 to Total Organic Carbon (TOC) 0.1 to 5.0 mg/l - Turbidity 0.1 to 5 NTU - Temperature - 20 C±5 C - Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 50 to 500 mg/l NSF verified the aforementioned abiotic parameters of the test water using EPA and APHA standard methods. The reference methods used for the analytical testing are provided in the Reference section. Preparation of SAFI product NSF Chemistry lab prepared solutions of the SAFI product with the copper concentrations of 1 and 10 ppm. Concentrations of copper were determined with ICAP analysis based on EPA Time Kill Study The Time Kill Study was based on the references USEPA Guide Standard for Testing Microbiological Water Purifiers, NSF Protocol P231 Microbiological Water Purifiers, and ASTM E Standard Guide for Assessment of Antimicrobial Activity Using a Time-Kill Procedure. Modifications to these methods are contained in this report. NSF s Chemistry Laboratory delivered the prepared SAFI solutions (concentrations of 1ppm and 10ppm) to NSF s Microbiology Laboratory. A flask of test water was also prepared and delivered to NSF s Microbiology Laboratory to serve as a control water. Triplicate 100mL volumes of each type of test water were set up for both organisms and SAFI concentration combinations. The flasks were placed on a rotary shaker (200 rpm) and were held at /- 2 ºC. These flasks were inoculated with the appropriate amount of organism to achieve a target concentration of 1 x 10 8.
4 The sampling points for this study were as follows: 0 hour, 1 hour, 4 hours, and 24 hours. At each sampling point, a 1mL aliquot was removed from each flask for processing, immediately transferred to 9mL of Neutralization Broth (0.25M potassium phosphate, ph 7.2, 0.1% sodium thioglycollate, 0.6% sodium thiosulfate, 0.5% Tween 80, and 0.7% lecithin) and vortexed. Serial ten-fold dilutions were performed using Neutralization Broth and the samples were processed and plated onto the appropriate selective media, then incubated. Samples containing E. coli were processed and plated onto 3M Petrifilm E.coli/Coliform Count Plates in duplicate and incubated at 35 C ± 1 C for 48 hours ± 4 hours. Samples containing S. dysenteriae were processed using the spread plate method. These were plated onto Xylose Lysine Deoxychlorate (XLD Agar) in duplicate and incubated at 35 C ± 1 C for 24 ± 2 hours. Post incubation, plates were read and enumerated using a Quebec Colony Counter. Colony counts were converted to CFU per milliliter concentrations for each replicate plate. Statistical Analysis To determine the efficacy of the Client s product, log reduction in challenge organism viability was calculated at each exposure time point. The following formula was employed to calculate log reduction: Log Reduction = log10 (N / T) Where: N is the number of viable organism in the numbers control (untreated group) at time point x T is the number of viable organism in the treatment group (exposed to SAFI product) at time point x To determine the statistical significance of the log reduction data sets, a student s t-test using a 95% confidence interval (α=0.05) was performed, comparing each treatment group to the numbers control at each exposure time point.
5 Results and Discussion The results of the efficacy testing are presented in Tables 2 through 5. (Appendix A). For all experiments the media/reagent and organism growth controls indicated the tests were run under valid conditions. E. coli At copper concentration of 10ppm a significant log reduction of the E. coli challenge population was not observed until the 24 hour sampling time point. The challenge population was reduced by >6.96 log 10. At 1 and 4 hour time points 1ppm and 10ppm copper concentrations solutions showed limited challenge population reduction (less than a 2.34 log 10 ). S. dysenteriae A significant log reduction of the S. dysenteriae challenge population was not observed until the 24 hour sampling time point for both the 1ppm and 10ppm copper concentrations. At the 1ppm copper concentration there was a 4.28 log 10 reduction. At the 10ppm concentration there was a reduction of >5.9 log 10.
