Research was conducted to compare the effectiveness of electrolyzed oxidative (EO) water applied using an electrostatic spraying system (ESS) for killing populations of bacteria that are of concern to the poultry industry. Populations of pathogenic bacteria (Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes), and the indicator bacterium Escherichia coli were applied to e...

Recharge and contamination of karst aquifers often occur via the unsaturated zone, but the functioning of this zone has not yet been fully understood. Therefore, irrigation and tracer experiments, along with monitoring of rainfall events, were used to examine water percolation and the transport of solutes, particles, and fecal bacteria between the land surface and a water outlet into a shallow ...

Microbial pathogens are among factors posing significant threats to hygiene issues for water and wastewater. Thus indicator bacteria are used for detection of relative risk of fecal contamination and potential presence of pathogens in water. However, indicator organisms bear some disadvantages decreasing their effectiveness as ideal indicators of microbial pathogens in water. In addition, conve...
