Item Análisis de los factores que contribuyen a la persistencia de bacterias no detectables en el agua potable tratada: Revisión sistemática(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Arango Jaramillo, Alejandra; Bautista Carrillo, Jonathan (Director)This monograph addressed the persistence of undetectable bacteria in treated drinking water, a problem that affects the quality of the resource and public health. The objective was to describe the factors contributing to this persistence through a systematic literature review using the PRISMA methodology. A search of five databases yielded 1300 documents, of which 34 were selected after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that biofilm formation, resistance to disinfectants, and the characteristics of the distribution infrastructure are determining factors in the survival of these microorganisms. Limitations in conventional treatment technologies were also identified, the effectiveness of which depends on the type of bacteria and their resistance mechanisms. It was concluded that a combination of microbiological, technological, and structural factors influences bacterial persistence, making it important to strengthen microbiological surveillance and optimize treatment processes to ensure drinking water quality
