The World Health Organization Global Action Plan recommends integrated surveillance programs as crucial strategies for monitoring antibiotic resistance. Although several national are in place clinical and veterinary settings, no such schemes exist antibiotic-resistant bacteria the environment. In this transnational study, we developed, validated, tested a low-cost easy to implement approach evaluate resistance wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) by targeting cefotaxime-resistant (CTX-R)...
The inactivation of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and genes (ARGs) in an advanced plant combining ozonation granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration applied for effluent after conventional sludge treatment at a full-scale urban wastewater was investigated over 13 consecutive months. nitrite compensated specific ozone dose ranged between 0.4 0.7 g O3/g DOC with short-time sampling campaigns (0.2-0.9 DOC). Samples were analysed culture-dependent methods bacterial targets qPCR genes....
Abstract Given the availability of technological solutions and guidelines for safe drinking water, direct potable reuse reclaimed water has become a promising option to overcome severe lack in arid regions. However, growing awareness presence antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) corresponding raw wastes led new safety concerns. This study investigated fate ARB intracellular extracellular ARG after each treatment step an advanced facility Windhoek, Namibia....
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are continuously exposed to sub-inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics that thought contribute the spreading antibiotic resistant bacteria and resistance genes, which eventually released downstream environments through effluents. In order understand effects on sludge microbiome resistome, we spiked a conventional activated (CAS) model system with ciprofloxacin, common fluoroquinolone antibiotic, from 0.0001 mg/L (about twice typical ciprofloxacin...
Abstract SARS-CoV-2 surveillance is crucial to identify variants with altered epidemiological properties. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) provides an unbiased and complementary approach sequencing individual cases. Yet, national WBE programs have not been widely implemented data analyses remain challenging. We deep-sequenced 2,093 wastewater samples representing 95 municipal catchments, covering >57% of Austria’s population, from December 2020 September 2021. Our Va riant Qu...
This work aimed to determine the influence of inoculation autochthonous cellulolytic bacteria on composting process without any modifications physical or chemical parameters. Bacteria with abilities were isolated from composted material containing food and plant leftovers identified as Bacillus licheniformis, altitudinis, Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus. The experimental composter garden household wastes was inoculated bio-vaccine prepared a mixture bacterial strains for next 96 days parallelly...
