On‐site pilot‐scale advanced oxidation pretreatment of hospital wastewater: assessment of pharmaceuticals, pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes and acute ecotoxicity

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Hospital premises generate wastewater containing a wide spectrum of contaminants, such as pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogenic microorganisms, whilst plenty of them are classified under the antibiotic resistant bacteria (ΑRΒ) category.

Survival Remains High in Griffon Vultures 40 Years After Reintroduction

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
The reintroduction of the Griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus) in French Grands Causses in 1981 is largely regarded as a significant translocation success. 40 years of quality data from intensive monitoring allows us to investigate the survival rates in this long‐lived population on the long term, but also to reflect on the crucial role of adaptive management

Acquired Antibiotic Resistance

Journal of Experimental and Molecular Biology, 2022
Antibiotics are chemicals used to control bacterial infections, produced by microorganisms (fungi, some bacteria) or obtained synthetically or semi-synthetically. The discovery of antibiotics has revolutionized the medical system, reducing morbidity and

Emergence of Fosfomycin Resistance Among ESBL‐Producing Escherichia coli in Abadan, Southwestern Iran

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Escherichia coli is a key pathogen responsible for various infections, such as urinary tract infections, gastroenteritis, and wound infections. The increasing occurrence of antimicrobial resistance, particularly in extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase (ESBL)‐producing strains, poses a significant global health threat.
