From Lake Victoria to the Tap: Antibiotic Resistance and Pathogenic Contamination of Kisumu City Water Supply and Wastewater Network

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 547-559, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Waterborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose mounting public health threats across sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly in rapidly urbanising regions dependent on untreated or poorly treated surface waters. This study applied shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterise microbial communities, virulence factors and antibiotic ...

A Simplified Van Erth Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Typing Method of Bacillus Anthracis Applicable by Traditional Thermocycler Machines

Medical Laboratory Journal, 2015
SNP typing is now a well-established genotyping system in Bacillus anthracis studies. In the original standard method of Van Erth, SNPs at 13 loci of the B. anthracis genome were analyzed.

Phages Preying on Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus thuringiensis: Past, Present and Future [PDF]

, 2014
Many bacteriophages (phages) have been widely studied due to their major role in virulence evolution of bacterial pathogens. However, less attention has been paid to phages preying on bacteria from the Bacillus cereus group and their contribution to the ...

Waterborne transmission largely contributes to the epidemiology of a plankton parasite

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Understanding how parasites spread is crucial for preventing infections and predicting epidemic dynamics. These efforts are challenging for environment‐borne parasites because transmission is host density‐independent. We monitored the dynamics of Pasteuria ramosa, a common bacterial parasite of Daphnia magna with prolonged free‐living ...

The Bacillus subtilis signaling protein SpoIVB defines a new family of serine peptidases [PDF]

, 2002
The protein SpoIVB plays a key role in signaling in the sigma (K) checkpoint of Bacillus subtilis. This regulatory mechanism coordinates late gene expression during development in this organism and we have recently shown SpoIVB to be a serine peptidase ...

The Emerging Role of Microbial Extracellular Vesicles in Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration

Medicine Bulletin, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 231-238, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders are increasingly viewed as systemic conditions shaped by interactions among peripheral immunity, microbiota, and the central nervous system. However, the mechanisms linking microbial activity to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration remain poorly defined.

Inactivation of Bacillus anthracis Spores

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
After the intentional release of Bacillus anthracis through the U.S. Postal Service in the fall of 2001, many environments were contaminated with B. anthracis spores, and frequent inquiries were made regarding the science of destroying these spores.
