Most-cited papers in FEMS Microbes

Show us the data: global COVID-19 wastewater monitoring efforts, equity, and gaps

Colleen C. Naughton, Fernando A. Roman, Ana Grace Fitzimons Alvarado et al. · 1 Jan 2023

A year since the declaration of the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there were over 110 million cases and 2.5 million deaths. Learning from methods to track community spread of other viruses such as poliovirus, environmental virologists and those in the wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) field quickly adapted their existing methods to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA…

Quantitative PCR versus metagenomics for monitoring antibiotic resistance genes: balancing high sensitivity and broad coverage

Catarina Ferreira, Saria Otani, Frank M. Aarestrup et al. · 1 Jan 2023

The widespread occurrence of clinically relevant antibiotic resistance within humans, animals, and environment motivates the development of sensitive and accurate detection and quantification methods. Metagenomics and quantitative PCR (qPCR) are amongst the most used approaches. In this study, we aimed to evaluate and compare the performance of these methods to screen antibiotic resistance genes in…

Bacteriophages in sewage: abundance, roles, and applications

Elisenda Ballesté, Anicet R. Blanch, Maite Muniesa et al. · 1 Jan 2022

The raw sewage that flows through sewage systems contains a complex microbial community whose main source is the human gut microbiome, with bacteriophages being as abundant as bacteria or even more so. Phages that infect common strains of the human gut bacteriome and transient bacterial pathogens have been isolated in raw sewage, as have other…

Surveillance of RNase P, PMMoV, and CrAssphage in wastewater as indicators of human fecal concentration across urban sewer neighborhoods, Kentucky

Rochelle H. Holm, Maitreyi Nagarkar, Ray Yeager et al. · 1 Jan 2022

Abstract Wastewater surveillance has been widely used as a supplemental method to track the community infection levels of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. A gap exists in standardized reporting for fecal indicator concentrations, which can be used to calibrate the primary outcome concentrations from wastewater monitoring for use in epidemiological models. To address this,…

Biotechnological potential of microbial bio-surfactants, their significance, and diverse applications

Renuka Kumari, L. Paikhomba Singha, Pratyoosh Shukla · 1 Jan 2023

Globally, there is a huge demand for chemically available surfactants in many industries, irrespective of their detrimental impact on the environment. Naturally occurring green sustainable substances have been proven to be the best alternative for reducing reliance on chemical surfactants and promoting long-lasting sustainable development. The most frequently utilized green active biosurfactants, which are made…
