FRIDAY, June 22 (HealthDay News) -- Two specific strains of bacteria that appear linked to indoor mold caused by water damage have been identified by researchers.
Bacterial contamination in water-damaged buildings can cause health problems such as infection and respiratory conditions such as asthma. But until now, no specific bacteria that contribute to these problems have been pinpointed, making it difficult for public health officials to find ways to tackle the problem.
In a new study, University of Cincinnati researchers found evidence linking two types of bacteria --Stenotrophomonas and Mycobacterium -- to indoor mold from water damage.
The team made their findings after analyzing samples collected from 42 homes participating in the Cincinnati Childhood Allergy and Air Pollution Study, a federal government-funded project examining the long-term effects of environmental exposures on children's respiratory health and allergy development.
I did not know I needed to be concerned about the bacteria left behind after water damage. I will make sure we disinfect the flooded rooms.
