The contamination of surface waters by fecal bacteria, measured by the number of
Escherichia coli, is a significant public health issue. When these bacteria are also resistant …

The detection all pathogenic enteric viruses in water is expensive, time-consuming, and
limited by numerous technical difficulties. Consequently, using reliable indicators such as F …

This study was performed to improve the ability to predict the concentrations of Escherichia
coli in oyster meat and estuarine waters by using environmental parameters, and …

Abstract The genus Arcobacter comprises Campylobacter-related species, considered
zoonotic emergent pathogens, the presence of which in water has been associated with …

Marine bioremediation consists in using filter-feeder organisms such as marine sponges in
order to reduce the presence of coliforms and pathogens. In this study, the contamination of …

In this study, the capacity of oysters to bioaccumulate fecal stanols and to record a source-
specific fingerprint was investigated by the short-term contamination of seawater …

Pathogen contamination in the environment is inevitable with the rapid development of
intensive aquaculture. Therefore, alternative ecofriendly biological strategies to control …

The article presents a study on Escherichia coli a foodborne enteropathogen and the causes
of severe gastrointestinal disease in humans. Topics discussed include bioaccumulation …

Some oyster species precipitate a soft, friable form of calcite that is occluded within their
shells, often referred to as chalk or chalky deposits. Because of the unusual microstructure of …

We investigated the effect of intravalvular liquid loss on changes in Escherichia coli (E. coli)
levels in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) harvested in different seasons and refrigerated …
