Five NMWs from four Spanish spas with different dry residue at 110 °C were used: A = 76,935 mg/L; B = 1,827 mg/L; C = 808.4 mg/L; D = 283.8 mg/L; and E = 170.4 mg/L. An initial inoculum of 1 × 106 colony forming units (cfu)/mL was used for survival studies. Distilled water, chlorinated tap water and Mueller–Hinton broth were used as controls. Colony counts in all different waters were lower than those achieved with Mueller–Hinton broth over all incubation periods. A direct effect between the bacterial survival and the level of mineralization water was observed. The NMW E with low mineralization level along with the radioactive properties showed the highest antibacterial activity among all NMWs.
