Journal ArticleDOI
Increased levels of multiresistant bacteria and resistance genes after wastewater treatment and their dissemination into lake geneva, Switzerland.
TL;DR: Data clearly indicated pollution of sediments with ARGs in the vicinity of the WTP outlet and the potential of lakes as reservoirs of MRB and potential risks are discussed.
Journal Article
High Genomic Diversity of Multi-Drug Resistant Wastewater
Norhan Mahfouz,Serena Caucci,Eric Achatz,Torsten Semmler,Sebastian Guenther,Thomas U. Berendonk,Michael Schroeder +6 more
TL;DR: The genomic diversity of the indicator Escherichia coli in a German wastewater treatment plant is analysed and it is found that while treatment plants reduce the amount of bacteria released into the environment, they do not reduce the potential for antibiotic resistance of these bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonality of antibiotic prescriptions for outpatients and resistance genes in sewers and wastewater treatment plant outflow.
Serena Caucci,Antti Karkman,Damiano Cacace,Marcus Rybicki,Patrick Timpel,Veiko Voolaid,Robert Gurke,Marko Virta,Thomas U. Berendonk +8 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that in a medium-term study the combination of qPCR and next generation sequencing corroborated by drug-related health data is a suitable approach to characterize seasonal changes of ARGs in wastewater and treated wastewater.
Journal ArticleDOI
Municipal Solid Waste Management in Latin America and the Caribbean: Issues and Potential Solutions from the Governance Perspective
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how we may look at municipal solid waste management in Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries from a governance perspective, as well as the best potential solutions, are both described within three categories of governance: bureaucratic, market and network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria isolated from hospital wastewaters, rivers and aquaculture sources in Nigeria
Olawale Olufemi Adelowo,Olawale Olufemi Adelowo,Serena Caucci,Omowunmi Abosede Banjo,Ozioma Chinyere Nnanna,Eunice Olubunmi Awotipe,Florence Bosede Peters,O. E. Fagade,Thomas U. Berendonk +8 more
TL;DR: The results of this study confirm untreated wastewater as an important medium for the spread of ESBL-producing bacteria within the Nigerian environment and the widespread practice of discharging untreated wastewater into the aquatic ecosystem in Nigeria is a serious risk to public health.
