Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the presence and ESBL activity of E. coli in surface and reclaimed water across the mid-Atlantic U.S. and found that phylogroups B1 and A were the most and least common, respectively.
- Water type influenced the distribution of phylogroups, with group A being more prevalent in reclaimed water compared to other types.
- Although general resistance to cephalosporins was low, specific groups exhibited higher resistance rates and the presence of resistance genes was linked to the water source, providing insights on water safety and public health.
Ultrasound has potential to be used for disinfection, and its antimicrobial effectiveness can be enhanced in presence of natural compounds. In this study, we compared the antimicrobial effects of ultrasound at 20 kHz (US 20 kHz) or 1 MHz (US 1 MHz) in combination with carvacrol, citral, cinnamic acid, geraniol, gallic acid, lactic acid, or limonene against E. coli K12 and Listeria innocua at a constant power density in water.
