In recent months, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has been shown to be an important tool for early detection of SARS-CoV-2 circulation in the population. this study, a methodology RNA (wildtype and variants concern) wastewater was developed based on different target genes (E ORF1ab) by polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation digital droplet PCR. This used determine concentration proportion N501Y mutation raw sewage treatment plant city Karlsruhe south-western Germany over period 1 year...
In the context of COVID-19 pandemic, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) emerged as a useful tool to account for prevalence SARS-CoV-2 infections on population scale. this study, we analyzed wastewater samples from three large (>300,000 people served) and four small (<25,000 communities throughout southern Germany August December 2021, capturing fourth infection wave in dominated by Delta variant (B.1.617.2). As dilution can skew biomarker concentrations wastewater, normalization parameters...
Environmental oligotrophic bacteria are suspected to be highly relevant carriers of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, there is a lack validated methods for monitoring in the aquatic environment. Since extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) play particularly important role clinical sector, culturing method based on R2A-medium, spiked with different combinations β-lactams, was applied quantify β-lactamase-producing environmental from surface waters. In German water samples (n = 28),...
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as a useful additional diagnostic tool for public health management. For rapid reporting of results and an automated implementation WBE monitoring tool, digital work flow data is crucial. Here, we present Automated Network Normalization, Analysis, Visualization Wastewater Environmental Surveillance (ANNA-WES); comprehensive workflow integrating GIS-based entry, Python-driven processing, ArcGIS-supported...
Microbial Source Tracking (MST) markers play a key role in identifying sources of fecal contamination, particularly human-associated pollution, which is critical for public health. This study investigates the distribution and reliability three MST (crAssphage, HMBif, HF183) across various environmental contexts Europe, Asia, Africa. Samples were obtained from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) rivers different catchment areas, including sampling during extreme weather conditions such as...
The internet is an increasingly relevant source of health information. We aimed to assess the quality German dentists' websites on periodontitis, hypothesizing that it was significantly associated with a number practice-specific parameters.We searched four electronic search engines and included pages which were freely accessible, posted by dental practice in Germany, mentioned periodontal disease/therapy. Websites assessed for (1) technical functional aspects, (2) generic risk bias, (3)...
Abstract In recent months, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has been shown to be an important tool for early detection of SARS-CoV-2 circulation in the population. this study, a methodology RNA (wild-type and variants concern) wastewater was developed based on different target genes (E ORF1ab) by PEG precipitation digital droplet PCR.

Wastewater-based SARS-CoV-2 epidemiology (WBE) has proven as an excellent tool to monitor pandemic dynamics supporting individual testing strategies. WBE can also be used early warning system for monitoring the emergence of novel pathogens or viral variants. However, a timely transmission results, sophisticated sample logistics and analytics performed in decentralized laboratories close sampling sites are required. Since multiple commonly use custom in-house workflows purification...
Biological post-treatment after ozonation in tertiary municipal wastewater treatment significantly improves the abatement of several microbiological quality parameters.
With the advent of molecular biology diagnostics, different quantitative PCR assays have been developed for use in Source Tracking (ST), with none them showing 100% specificity and sensitivity. Most studies conducted at a regional level mainly fecal slurry rather than animal wastewater. The single assay has most often proven to fall short discriminating precision sources contamination. This work is multicenter European ST study compare bacterial mitochondrial was set evaluate efficiency nine...
