Prevalence and Distribution of Potentially Human Pathogenic spp. on German North and Baltic Sea Coasts.

Global ocean warming results in an increase of infectious diseases including an elevated emergence of  spp. in Northern Europe. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control reported annual periods of high to very high risks of infection with spp.

Prevalence and seasonal dynamics of blaCTX-M antibiotic resistance genes and fecal indicator organisms in the lower Lahn River, Germany.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria represent an emerging global health problem and are frequently detected in riverine environments. Analyzing the occurrence of corresponding antibiotic-resistant genes in rivers is of public interest as it contributes towards understanding the origin and dissemination of these emerging microbial contaminants via surface water. This is critical for devising strategies to mitigate the spread of resistances in the environment.
