Water-borne pathogen contamination in water resources and related diseases are a major
water quality concern throughout the world. Increasing interest in controlling water-borne …

It has been known for some time that substantial populations of fecal coliforms and E. coli
are harbored in freshwater bottom sediments, bank soils, and beach sands. However, the …

The COVID-19 pandemic has stimulated wastewater-based surveillance, allowing public
health to track the epidemic by monitoring the concentration of the genetic fingerprints of …

In this study, a tracer bacteria was used to investigate the resuspension and persistence of
sediment‐associated bacteria in a small alluvial stream. The study was conducted in Swan …

River and stream rehabilitation projects are increasing in number, but the success or failure
of these projects has rarely been evaluated, and the extent to which buffers can restore …

The association of microorganisms with sediment particles is one of the primary
complicating factors in assessing microbial fate in aquatic systems. The literature indicates …

Stream sediments have been recognised as an in-channel store of faecal contamination that
can be mobilised during floods or other sediment-disturbing events. We studied this store of …

Sediment storage of fecal bacteria has been observed for a long time. However, limited
modeling efforts have been conducted to dynamically and explicitly study the impact of …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is now recognized as a leading global threat to human
health. Nevertheless, there currently is a limited understanding of the environment's role in …
