Article Synopsis
- Real-time monitoring of infectious diseases in schools faces challenges like delayed reporting and limited resources, making wastewater surveillance a viable alternative for tracking pathogens.* -
- This study examined whether wastewater from six elementary schools could detect influenza A and B viruses, successfully identifying influenza A RNA in three schools that correlates with increased cases in the community.* -
- Genome sequencing revealed a specific vaccine-resistant strain of influenza A (H3N2) present, highlighting the potential of wastewater surveillance to improve local disease monitoring in educational settings.*
Any metal in excess can be toxic; therefore, metal homeostasis is critical to bacterial survival. Bacteria have developed specialized metal import and export systems for this purpose. For broadly toxic metals such as copper, bacteria have evolved only export systems.

Exposure to CS induces oxidative stress and can result in cellular senescence in the lung. Cellular senescence can then lead to decreased proliferation of epithelial cells, the destruction of alveolar structure and pulmonary emphysema.
