Wastewater surveillance for pathogens using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction
(RT-PCR) is an effective and resource-efficient tool for gathering community-level public …

▪ Abstract The last decade has seen significant advances in our understanding of the
physiology, ecology, and molecular biology of chemoautotrophic bacteria. Many ecosystems are …

Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (tRFLP) is a potentially high-throughput
method for the analysis of complex microbial communities. Comparison of multiple tRFLP …

The introduction of SARS-CoV-2 containing human stool and sewage into water bodies
may raise public health concerns. However, assessment of public health risks by faecally …

We report the genome of the facultative intracellular parasite Rhodococcus equi, the only
animal pathogen within the biotechnologically important actinobacterial genus Rhodococcus. …

Background: We evaluated the discriminating capacity of the indole markers urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic
acid (5-HIAA), urinary serotonin, and platelet serotonin in the diagnosis of …

A number of PCR-based methods for detecting human fecal material in environmental
waters have been developed over the past decade, but these methods have rarely received …

The recent implementation of the Revised Bathing Water Directive in the European Union
has highlighted the need for development of effective methods to differentiate between …

The spatial and temporal changes in the bacterial communities associated with the Atlantic
cod Gadus morhua were investigated using terminal restriction fragment length …

The pathogenic actinomycete Rhodococcus equi harbors different types of virulence plasmids
associated with specific nonhuman hosts. We determined the complete DNA sequence of …
