Wastewaters serve as important hot spots for antimicrobial resistance and monitoring can be used to analyse the abundance diversity of genes at level large bacterial human populations. In this study, whole genome sequencing beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli metagenomic analysis whole-community DNA were characterize occurrence in hospital, municipal river waters city Brno (Czech Republic...

Abstract Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays an important role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes. In sewer systems, human-associated and environmental bacteria are mixed together exposed to many substances known increase HGT, including various antibacterial compounds. wastewaters, those most often detected below concentrations induce HGT individually. Still, it is possible th...

Microalgal biofuel research in China has made noticeable progress, and algae cultivation for biofuel production is considered to be an important contribution to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) mitigation and energy security. In this paper, the algal biofuel potentiality in China was reviewed from the points of view of algal biodiversity, algal culture collection, GHGs (especially CO2) mitigation, and the ...

The pharmaceutical production industries generate wastewaters that should be properly treated because in some cases they are highly toxic. For this reason the safe inactivation before disposing them into the environment must be guarantee. This paper deals with an ozone treatment system for the wastewaters generated in the cytostatic production. The cytostatics present in the wastewaters treatme...

BACKGROUND There is a growing consensus that linear approaches to improving the performance of health workers and health care organisations may only obtain short-term results. An alternative approach premised on the principle of human resource management described as a form of 'High commitment management', builds upon a bundles of balanced practices. This has been shown to contribute to better ...

BACKGROUND Considering the importance of hospital wastewaters as potential reservoirs for the dissemination of bacterial pathogens such as Escherichia coli and antibiotic resistance genes in the environment, the need for such information becomes imperative. METHODS E. coli strains were isolated from hospital wastewater sources in Tehran, Iran, over a 24-month sampling period (Jun 2014- Jun 20...

The occurrence of a representative range pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) in urban wastewaters was studied two Portuguese water-scarce regions (Lisbon great area, and Faro – Algarve), involving 55 sampling campaigns during 2.5 years. results show 16 PhCs (out the 24 analysed) were quantified all samples, with similar concentrations both wastewaters. To understand to what extent seasonality affec...

OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between hospital and emergency department (ED) occupancy, as indicators of hospital overcrowding, and mortality after emergency admission. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of 62 495 probabilistically linked emergency hospital admissions and death records. SETTING Three tertiary metropolitan hospitals between July 2000 and June 2003. PARTICIPANTS All pati...
