DOES YOUR SINK STINK?
The Silent Pandemic of Antibiotic Resistance
The rise of antibiotic resistance has reached critical levels, often referred to as the “Silent Pandemic.”
The accompanying graph highlights this alarming trend. Among the pathogens contributing to this crisis are the six most dangerous microorganisms, all of which were identified during our Community Sink Hygiene Study.
Pathogens Identified in the Community Sink Hygiene Study
The pathogens listed represent the microorganisms identified in the samples collected during the Community Sink Hygiene Study.
Can you spot the six most dangerous pathogens? These critical threats, highlighted in the accompanying graph, underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions like OVIS® to combat contamination and protect public health.
The Escalating Impact of Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance is rapidly becoming one of the most pressing global health challenges. The projected rise in deaths—from 700,000 in 2020 to a staggering 50 MILLION by 2050—underscores the devastating consequences of inaction. This alarming trend demands urgent attention and proactive measures to combat the spread of resistant pathogens.
GENE COPY DECREASE AFTER TREATMANT
Remarkable Reduction in Microbial Contamination
The analysis highlights the effectiveness of OVIS® in reducing microbial contamination. This graph demonstrates an average gene copy decrease ranging from 89.8% to 99.9% after using OVIS® for cleaning. These results underscore the system’s ability to target and significantly diminish harmful microorganisms in sink overflows.
Cleaner sinks, safer environments—powered by OVIS®.
The Silent Pandemic of Antibiotic Resistance
The Sink: The Most Contaminated Fixture in Your Bathroom
A detailed analysis reveals that the sink is the most colonized fixture in the bathroom you interact with daily. The graph illustrates its significantly higher microbial load compared to other fixtures, emphasizing the critical need for targeted cleaning and disinfection.
Don’t overlook the sink—OVIS® ensures a cleaner, safer solution.
How Biofilms Spread
Biofilms, complex microbial communities, thrive in environments where darkness, moisture, and nutrients converge. This makes sink overflows an ideal habitat for these resilient organisms.
- Migration: Biofilms travel through pipes, walls, and sewer systems, infiltrating spaces far beyond their origin.
- Colonization: Sink overflows become reservoirs for microorganisms, including antibiotic-resistant strains.
- Limitations of the P-Trap: While effective in blocking sewer gases, the P-trap does not prevent biofilm migration, allowing contamination to persist and spread.
This growing health threat requires immediate attention and decisive action.
The stakes are high, and the solution is here.
Stop the silent threats.
Prevent infections before they happen.
Protect your health, your family, and your community.
OVIS®: Because prevention isn’t optional—it’s essential.
