Wastewater Residuals as Ecological Amplifiers of Antibiotic Resistance Genes

Dispersal of antibiotic resistance genes in the environment via treated wastewater and biosolids

Antibiotic Resistance Antibiotic Stewardship

13 May 2026 Lora Benoit Ph.D

A greenhouse mesocosm study found that wastewater residuals can promote the persistence and spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) through soil, water, plants, and earthworms, highlighting wastewater reuse in the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance in the environment.

Viable But Non-Culturable (VBNC) Pathogens in Drinking Water May Pose Health Risks

VBNC Pathogens in Potable Water

E. coli Pseudomonas aeruginosa Viable But Not Culturable (VBNC)

13 Dec 2025 Lora Benoit Ph.D

Viable But Non-Culturable (VBNC) E. coli and P. aeruginosa are prevalent across source, tap, and potable drinking water even after treatment. Predictive models suggest health risks from these VBNC pathogens exceed acceptable thresholds.

Legionella Detection in Water: Evaluating ISO 11731:2017 - Are All Methods the Same?

Best Way to Detect Legionella in Water

ISO 11731 - Legionella Legionella spp.

04 Nov 2025 Lora Benoit Ph.D

A multicenter study systematically compared six ISO 11731:2017 standardized culture techniques for detecting Legionella in 276 hospital hot-water samples. Detection rates varied significantly depending on the method used.
