In tropical to temperate environments, fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), such as enterococci and
Escherichia coli, can persist and potentially multiply, far removed from their natural reservoir …

Enteropathogen contamination of water resources is a global concern. Several sources and
routes of pathogen contamination of water resources have been identified including …

In rivers, small and lightweight microplastics are transported downstream, but they are also
found frequently in riverbed sediment, demonstrating long-term retention. To better …

Antibiotics have revolutionised medicine in the last century and enabled the prevention of
bacterial infections that were previously deemed untreatable. However, in parallel, bacteria …

The extensive use of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine and their subsequent
release into the environment may have direct consequences for autochthonous bacterial …

River networks modify material transfer from land to ocean. Understanding the factors
regulating this function for different gaseous, dissolved, and particulate constituents is critical …

Escherichia (E.) coli is a fecal microbe that inhabits the intestines of endotherms (primary
habitat) and the natural environment (secondary habitats). Due to prevailing thinking …

Detecting environmental DNA (eDNA) in water samples is a powerful tool in determining the
presence of rare aquatic species. However, many open questions remain as to how …

This study investigates the dynamics of microplastic infiltration into non-stationary sandy
sediments, a pressing environmental concern due to the rising prevalence of microplastics …
