The human gut is host to one of the densest microbial communities known, the gut
microbiota, which contains bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi and other microbial eukaryotes …

In recent years, the use of lytic bacteriophages as antimicrobial agents controlling
pathogenic bacteria has appeared as a promising new alternative strategy in the face of …

The performance of an electrochemical multiwalled carbon nanotube (EC-MWNT) filter
toward virus removal and inactivation in the presence of natural organic matter was …

The functionalization of nanoparticles has primarily been used as a means to impart stability
in nanoparticle suspensions. In most cases even the most advanced nanomaterials lose …
