Objective: The aim: Determination of circulation interrelations between antibiotic-resistant microorganisms of Enterobacteriaceae family and their resistance genes in clinical strains and potable water samples taken in Uzhhorod and Uzhhorod district.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We carried out generic identification of the microorganisms isolated from clinical samples of the oral cavity of 64 patients suffering from periodontal inflammatory diseases, and potable water samples taken from sources of public centralized and decentralized water supply; the isolated microorganisms were tested for antibiotic sensitivity by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method according to EUCAST. With the help of molecular-genetic methods, the total DNA of potable water was isolated and tested for the presence of the following genetic resistance determinants: carbapenems blaNDM; blaOXA48-like; tetracyclines blaTet-M; cephalosporins blaCTX-M.
Results: Results: In the microbiota of the clinical material and potable water samples, the same spectrum of microorganisms belonging to Enterobacteriaceae family dominated; the isolated bacteria showed a high resistance level to beta-lactam antibiotics and to natural antibiotic preparations. The highest level of resistance was established for microorganisms isolated from well water samples, where genetic resistance determinants to blaCTX-M cephalosporins and blaTet tetracyclins were also revealed.
Conclusion: Conclusions: The obtained results proved high probability of the spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms and their genetic resistance determinants via potable water.

Background: One of the tropical illnesses that is often overlooked is soil-transmitted helminths, or STHs. In tropical and subtropical nations, where poor sanitation and contaminated water sources are common, they mostly impact the most vulnerable populations.
Objective: The aim of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of STHs and related risk factors among the people living in Jigjiga town, Somali region, Eastern Ethiopia.

Non-targeted analysis (NTA) using high-resolution mass spectrometry without defined chemical targets has the potential to expand and improve chemical monitoring in many fields. Despite rapid advancements within the research community, NTA methods and data remain underutilized by many potential beneficiaries. To better understand barriers toward widespread adoption, the Best Practices for Non-Targeted Analysis (BP4NTA) working group conducted focus group meetings and follow-up surveys with scientists (n = 61) from various sectors (e.

Extensive agricultural regions commonly face issues of poor groundwater management, non-standard agricultural production practices, and unordered discharge of domestic pollution, leading to a continuous decline in groundwater quality and a sharp increase in risks. A comprehensive understanding of groundwater conditions and pollution is a crucial step in effectively addressing the water quality crisis. This study employs the Comprehensive Water Quality Index, Irrigation parameter, and Pollution Index to comprehensively investigate the groundwater quality in a typical agricultural area in Shandong, China, and assesses the suitability of groundwater for irrigation and the risks to human health.

Road runoff underwent treatment using a filter filled with sludge from drinking water treatment plants to assess its capacity for removing dissolved organic matter (DOM). This evaluation utilized resin fractionation, gel permeation chromatography, three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy, and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The filter demonstrated enhanced efficiency in removing dissolved organic carbon, achieving removal rates between 70 and 80%.

The discharge of sewage effluent is a major source of microbial contamination in drinking water sources, necessitating a comprehensive investigation of its impact on pathogenic bacterial communities. This study utilized full-length 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to identify putative pathogenic bacteria and analyze their community structures in drinking water sources subjected to different levels of fecal pollution: urban rivers with low, moderate, and high sewage effluent mixing ratios, and mountain streams with minimal human impact. The sewage effluent itself was also analyzed.
