Observed and model-predicted log10 inactivation in study of chlorine inactivation of Elizabethkingia spp. in water. Samples from environmental and clinical sources were exposed to chlorine in water with increasing contact time at an initial dose of 0.2 mg/L FCR. Panels show comparisons in modeled inactivation by model specification. A) All data used for both models. B) Stratified by species, Chick-Watson model. C) Strain source, Chick-Watson model. Curved lines indicate model-predicted inactivation; dots, observed inactivation; and shaded regions, model 95% prediction intervals. FCR, free chlorine residual.
