First study in Qatar to reveal high Legionella counts in cooling towers.
Eastern Mediterranean health journal = La revue de sante de la Mediterranee orientale = al-Majallah al-sihhiyah li-sharq al-mutawassit
Dec 14, 2017
Legionella spp. is transmitted from water to humans by aerosol-generating devices, including cooling towers (CTs). There have not been published reports about Legionella in these systems in Qatar. Ten CTs in Qatar University were sampled on a monthly...
Occurrence and characteristics of extended-spectrum β-lactamase- and carbapenemase- producing bacteria from hospital effluents in Singapore.
The Science of the total environment
Oct 17, 2017
One of the most important resistance mechanisms in Gram-negative bacteria today is the production of enzymes causing resistance to cephalosporin and carbapenem antibiotics. The spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)- and carbapenemase- produ...
Simulating the fate of indigenous antibiotic resistant bacteria in a mild slope wastewater polluted stream.
Journal of environmental sciences (China)
May 3, 2017
The fate of indigenous surface-water and wastewater antibiotic resistant bacteria in a mild slope stream simulated through a hydraulic channel was investigated in outdoor experiments. The effect of (i) natural (dark) decay, (ii) sunlight, (iii) cloud...
Comparison of models for predicting the changes in phytoplankton community composition in the receiving water system of an inter-basin water transfer project.
Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Feb 10, 2017
Inter-basin water transfer projects might cause complex hydro-chemical and biological variation in the receiving aquatic ecosystems. Whether machine learning models can be used to predict changes in phytoplankton community composition caused by water...
Toxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on Pseudomonas putida.
Water research
Dec 29, 2015
The increasing use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in industrial and household applications will very likely lead to the release of such materials into the environment. As wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are usually the last barrier before the ...
Predicting fecal sources in waters with diverse pollution loads using general and molecular host-specific indicators and applying machine learning methods.
Journal of environmental management
Jan 10, 2015
In this study we use a machine learning software (Ichnaea) to generate predictive models for water samples with different concentrations of fecal contamination (point source, moderate and low). We applied several MST methods (host-specific Bacteroide...
Machine learning classification of quorum sensing-induced bacterial aggregation using flow rate assays on paper chips toward bacterial species identification in potable water sources.
Biosensors & bioelectronics
Sep 15, 2025
Preventing waterborne disease caused by bacteria is especially important in low-resource settings, where skilled personnel and laboratory equipment are scarce. This work reports a straightforward method for classifying bacterial species by monitoring...
Predicting culturable enterococci exceedances at Escambron Beach, San Juan, Puerto Rico using satellite remote sensing and artificial neural networks.
Journal of water and health
Feb 1, 2019
Predicting recreational water quality is key to protecting public health from exposure to wastewater-associated pathogens. It is not feasible to monitor recreational waters for all pathogens; therefore, monitoring programs use fecal indicator bacteri...
Evaluation of a protocol for reducing the microbial contamination of dental unit water.
Acta odontologica latinoamericana : AOL
Dec 1, 2018
Biofilm on dental unit waterlines can spread microbial contamination in the water. The aim of this study was to investigate microbial contamination of water from supplies and dental units before and after the implementation of a protocol for microbia...
[Evaluation of drinking-water treatment by Lifestraw® and Ceramic-pot filters].
Revista de salud publica (Bogota, Colombia)
Apr 1, 2016
Objective To evaluate under laboratory conditions, the removal efficiency of turbidity and E. coli of two household water filters: LifeStraw® family (MF) and ceramic pot filter (CPF). Methods The two systems were operated over 6 months using two iden...
