Acinetobacter wuhouensis sp. nov., isolated from hospital sewage

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2018
We recovered eight strains of the genus Acinetobacter from hospital sewage at West China Hospital in Chengdu, China. Based on the comparative analysis of the rpoB sequence, these strains formed a strongly supported and internally coherent cluster (intra-cluster identity of ≥98.0 %), which was clearly separated from all known Acinetobacter species (≤91 ...

Environmental Contamination with Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci from Hospital Sewage in Portugal [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2005
ABSTRACT Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) were detected in samples of sewage obtained downstream of hospitals of the Porto area in Portugal, and in samples from the Douro Estuary. Clonal analysis, Tn 1546 typing, and presence of putative virulence traits indicate the clinical origin of these isolates.

Reducing Ammonia Emission during Food Waste Composting and Enhancing Compost Quality Using Different Additives

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
This research successfully reduces the ammonia emission by 45% and achieves good quality compost using additives (lactic acid or acetic acid) and bulking agents (mature compost or sawdust). The study supports Sustainable Development Goals 12 and 13 by promoting waste‐to‐resource option.
