Environmental exposure to active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can have negative effects on the health of ecosystems and humans. While numerous studies have monitored APIs in rivers, these employ different analytical methods, measure different APIs, and have ignored many of the countries of the ...

The characteristics of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) make it a promising platform for the molecular detection of tuberculosis (TB) in developing countries. Here, we report on the first clinical evaluation of LAMP for the detection of pulmonary TB in microscopy centers in Peru, Bangla...

Low level: The amount of arsenic in Bangladeshi well water and in bottled drinking water and Mississippi tap water are indicated by a dynamic light scattering (DLS) assay. Label-free gold nanoparticles are used in a selective colorimetric assay (see picture) and in a highly sensitive DLS assay for t...

Wastewater surveillance for pathogens using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is an effective and resource-efficient tool for gathering community-level public health information, including the incidence of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). Surveillance of Severe Acute Respira...

OBJECTIVES: Bacteriophages are bacteria-specific viruses that infect and, in the case of obligately lytic phages, destroy their host bacteria. Phage therapy has been used therapeutically to combat bacterial infections since their discovery. This paper reviewed recent in-vivo phage therapy studies, w...

Foodborne pathogens are a major public health concern and have a significant economic impact globally. From harvesting to consumption stages, food is generally contaminated by viruses, parasites, and bacteria, which causes foodborne diseases such as hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HU...

Antibiotic resistance has been recognized as a major threat to public health worldwide. Inactivation of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and degradation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are critical to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance in the environment. Conventional disinfection ...

Pharmaceutical contamination in the aquatic environment is a global issue that affects aquatic animals, micro‐organisms and human health. The occurrence and preliminary ecological risk of 12 (11 antibiotics and 1 antiepileptic drug) pharmaceuticals were investigated for the first time in the surface...

Aeromonas hydrophila recently has received increased attention because it is opportunistic and a primary human pathogen. A. hydrophila biofilm formation and its control are a major concern for food safety because biofilms are related to virulence. Therefore, we investigated biofilm formation, motili...

Aptamers are short non-coding, single-stranded oligonucleotides (RNA or DNA) developed through Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential enrichment (SELEX) in vitro. Similar to antibodies, aptamers can bind to specific targets with high affinity, and are considered promising therapeutic agents ...

Ganz wenig genügt: Der Gehalt von Arsen in Brunnenwasser in Bangladesh sowie in käuflichem Trinkwasser und in Leitungswasser im US-Staat Mississippi kann mithilfe eines Assays auf der Basis dynamischer Lichtstreuung (DLS) angezeigt werden. Die hochempfindliche und selektive colorimetrische Analyse (...
