Evaluation of the Properties of Sewage Water at Koueifieh Hospital-Benghazi, Libya

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract The analytical parameters of wastewater gathered from ten stations have been studied by standard methods. The unpleasant odor was observed in all stations, in addition, the pH of the wastewater was measured to be in the range of 6.3-8, meanwhile, the electrical conductivity of the water was in the range of 2030-6450 μscm−1.

Urban metagenomics uncover antibiotic resistance reservoirs in coastal beach and sewage waters

Microbiome, 2019
Background Microbial communities present in environmental waters constitute a reservoir for antibiotic-resistant pathogens that impact human health. For this reason, a diverse variety of water environments are being analyzed using metagenomics to uncover

Seroprevalence of IgM and IgG Antibodies Directed Against Hepatitis E Virus in 4867 Blood Donors From Tyrol, Austria

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT There may be a risk of transmitting Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) through blood transfusions, however screening blood donors for HEV is not mandatory in Austria. We assessed the seroprevalence of anti–HEV antibodies among blood donors, thereby informing about the risk of HEV‐contaminated blood products.

Wastewater‐Based Assessment of Antimicrobial Resistance and Bacterial Communities in Urban and Rural Areas in the Province of Trento (Italy)

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Wastewater from urban and rural areas was analyzed to investigate antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria and resistance genes. ESBL‐Escherichia coli and genes coding for clinically relevant resistances, namely, those to macrolides, carbapenems, and vancomycin, were higher in urban than in rural areas.

Clostridioides difficile as a Zoonotic and Foodborne Pathogen: Reviewing the Global Evidence and South African Data

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Clostridioides difficile infections are increasingly problematic in areas with already burdened healthcare systems. From a One‐Health perspective, a lack of surveillance in developing countries greatly contributes to the limited information available on the zoonotic and foodborne potential of C. difficile.
