Since its first identification in the United Kingdom late 2020, highly transmissible B.1.1.7 variant of SARS-CoV-2 has become dominant several countries raising great concern. We developed a duplex real-time RT-qPCR assay to detect, discriminate, and quantitate variants containing one mutation signatures, ΔHV69/70 deletion, used it trace community circulation Spain through Spanish National Wastewater Surveillance System (VATar COVID-19). The was detected earlier than clinical epidemiological...
The presence of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater pose the question whether this new pandemic virus could be released into watercourses and potentially continue to finally reach coastal waters. In study, we employed two bivalve molluscan species from genus Ruditapes as sentinel organisms investigate signals marine environment. Estuarine sediments natural clam banks were also analyzed. Viral RNA was detected by RT-qPCR, targeting IP4, E N1 genomic regions. Positive samples subjected a PMAxx-triton...
Wastewater surveillance has become a valuable tool to monitor the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants concern (VOCs) at community level. In this study, we aimed evaluate presence Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta (B.1.351), Delta (B.1617.2), and Omicron (B.1.1.529) VOCs in samples from inlet wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) as well two different sewer interceptors (SI-1 SI-2) urban sewage system Santiago de Compostela (Galicia, NW Spain) throughout 2021 January 2022. For purpose, detection quantification...
Decentralised wastewater treatment is becoming a suitable strategy to reduce cost and environmental impact. In this research, the performance of two technologies treating black water (BW) grey (GW) fractions urban sewage carried out in decentralised produced three office buildings. An Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor (AnMBR) BW Hybrid preanoxic (H-MBR) containing small plastic carrier elements, GW were operated at pilot scale. Their potential on reducing release contaminants emerging concern...

ABSTRACT We report the draft genome sequences of two Enterobacter soli strains isolated from wastewater in Galicia (NW Spain). Genomic analysis revealed that both E. harbor multiple genes associated with resistance to sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, β-latamics, and other drugs.
