Drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) may be a Trojan Horse for some waterborne diseases caused by opportunistic pathogens (OPs). In this study, two simulated DWDS inoculated with ground-water were treated with chlorine (Cl-2) and ultraviolet/chlorine (UV/Cl-2) respectively to compare their effects on the OPs distributed in four different phases (bulk water, biofilms, corrosion products, and loose deposits) of DWDS. 16S rRNA genes sequencing and qPCR were used to profile microbial community and quantify target genes of OPs, respectively. Results showed that UV/Cl-2 was more effective than single Cl-2 to control the regrowth of OPs in the water with the same residual chlorine concentration. However, the OPs inhabiting the biofilms, corrosion products, and loose deposits seemed to be tolerant to UV/Cl-2 and Cl-2, demonstrating that OPs residing in these phases were resistant to the disinfection processes. Some significant microbial correlations between OPs and Acanthamoeba were found by Spearman correlative analysis (p < 0.05), demonstrating that the ecological interactions may exist in the DWDS. 16S rRNA genes sequencing of water samples revealed a significant different microbial community structure between UV/Cl-2 and Cl-2. This study may give some implications for controlling the OPs in the DWDS disinfected with UV/Cl-2. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
