The invention is directed to a microbiological interception enhanced filter medium, preferably having an adsorbent prefilter located upstream from the filter medium. Preferably, the prefilter is adapted to remove natural organic matter in an influent prior to the influent contacting the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium, thereby preventing loss of charge on the filter medium. The microbiological interception enhanced filter medium is most preferably comprised of fibrillated cellulose fibers, in particular, lyocell fibers. At least a portion of the surface of the at least some of the fibers have formed thereon a microbiological interception enhancing agent comprising a cationic metal complex. A filter medium of the present invention provides greater than about 4 log viral interception, and greater than about 6 log bacterial interception.

1. A composite filter medium comprising:an adsorbent prefilter having immobilized therein a material capable of removing charge-reducing contaminants; a microporous structure, disposed downstream from said adsorbent layer, comprising a plurality of nanofibers, said microporous structure having a mean flow path of less than about 0.6 micron; and a microbiological interception enhancing agent comprising a silver-cationic material-halide complex having a high charge density, coated on at least a portion of a surface of at least some of the plurality of fibers of said microporous structure. 2. The filter medium of claim 1 wherein said adsorbent prefilter is located between a particulate prefilter and said microporous structure.3. The filter medium of claim 1 wherein the material capable of removing charge-reducing contaminants comprises activated carbon.4. The filter medium of claim 1 wherein the adsorbent material of said adsorbent layer comprises an anion exchange resin.5. The filter medium of claim 1 wherein said adsorbent prefilter further includes ingredients comprising activated carbon, activated alumina, zeolites, diatomaceous earth, silicates, aluminosilicates, titanates, bone char, calcium hydroxyapatite, manganese oxides, iron oxides, magnesia, perlite, talc, polymeric particulates, clay, iodated resins, ion exchange resins, ceramics, or combinations thereof.6. The filter medium of claim 1 wherein said microbiological interception enhancing agent consists of a silver-cationic material-halide complex wherein a homopolymer of diallyl dimethyl ammonium on a surface of said microporous structure has a halide counter ion associated therewith and wherein silver is precipitated with at least a portion of the halide counter ion.7. The filter medium of claim 6 wherein the homopolymer of diallyl dimethyl ammonium halide has a molecular weight of greater than or equal to about 400,000 Daltons.
