Water and sanitation: an essential battlefront in the war on antimicrobial resi...
Burgmann, Helmut; Frigon, Dominic; Gaze, William H.; Manaia, Célia M.; Pruden, Amy; Singer, Andrew C.; Smets, Barth F.; Zhang, TongWater and sanitation represent a key battlefront in combatting the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Basic water sanitation infrastructure is an essential first step towards protecting public health, thereby limiting the spread of pathogens and the need for antibiotics. AMR presents unique human health risks, meriting new risk assessment frameworks specifically adapted to water and sanitation-borne AMR....
Structure and activity of lacustrine sediment bacteria involved in nutrient and...
Martins, Gilberto; Terada, Akihiko; Ribeiro, Daniel; Corral, Anuska M.; Brito, A. G.; Smets, Barth F.; Nogueira, R.Knowledge about the bacterial community structure in sediments is essential to better design restoration strategies for eutrophied lakes. In that regard, the aim of this study was to quantify the abundance and activity of bacteria involved in nutrient and iron cycling in sediments from four Azorean lakes with distinct trophic states (Verde, Azul, Furnas and Fogo). Inferred from quantitative PCR, bacteria perfor...
