Drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) are unique engineering environments that are
important routes for the acquisition and dissemination of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic …

Bacteria build multicellular communities termed biofilms, which are often encased in a self-
secreted extracellular matrix that gives the community mechanical strength and protection …

In this study, we perform a thermal curve analysis with terahertz (THz) metamaterials to
develop a label-free identification tool for pathogens such as bacteria and yeasts. The …

Biofouling in anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) has not been studied widely.
Moreover, the effect of membrane surface properties on biofilm formation beyond initial …

Over the past few decades, the increase in dependency on healthcare facilities has led to
the generation of large quantities of hospital wastewater (HWW) rich in chemical oxygen …

Surface superhydrophobicity makes bacterial biofilms very difficult to fight, and it is a
combination of their matrix composition and complex surface roughness which …

Drinking water plumbing systems appear to be a unique environment for microorganisms as
they contain few nutrients but a high mineral concentration. Interactions between mineral …

Biological consideration, with the effect of chromium, comes from its prominent impact on
environmental pollution with a toxic effect on microbial organisms, plants, and mammals …

Groundwater (GW) is considered one of the most critical drinking water sources in many
parts of the world. Thus, GW contributes immensely to the United Nations clean water …

Drinking water distribution systems are important for transporting clean drinking water.
Antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in drinking water …
