Cross-tracking of faecal pollution origins, macronutrients, pharmaceuticals and personal care products in rural and urban watercourses
Paruch, Lisa; Paruch, Adam (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-12-21)This study describes microbial and chemical source tracking approaches for water pollution in rural and urban catchments. Culturable faecal indicator bacteria, represented by Escherichia coli, were quantified. Microbial ... -
DNA-based faecal source tracking of contaminated drinking water causing a large Campylobacter outbreak in Norway 2019
Paruch, Lisa; Paruch, Adam; Sørheim, Roald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-18)During June 2019, an outbreak of campylobacteriosis occurred in Askøy, an island northwest of Bergen, Norway. According to the publicly available records, over 2000 residents fell ill and 76 were hospitalised, and two ... -
Effective removal of antibiotic resistance genes from wastewater using marine waste-derived novel nanocomposites
Paruch, Lisa; Paruch, Adam; Neblea, Iulia Elena; Iordache, Tanta-Verona; Olaru, Andreea Gabriela; Chiriac, Anita-Laura; Sarbu, Andrei (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-08-04)Wastewater (WW) has been identified as a major hotspot of microbial emerging contaminants (MECs), such as antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Currently used WW treatment methods ... -
Faecal pollution affects abundance and diversity of aquatic microbial community in anthropo-zoogenically influenced lotic ecosystems
Paruch, Lisa; Paruch, Adam; Eiken, Hans Geir; Sørheim, Roald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-19)The aquatic microbiota is known to be an important factor in the sustainability of the natural water ecosystems. However, the microbial community also might include pathogens, which result in very serious waterborne diseases ... -

Introducing Semi-Interpenetrating Networks of Chitosan and Ammonium-Quaternary Polymers for the Effective Removal of Waterborne Pathogens from Wastewaters
Neblea, Iulia E.; Chiriac, Anita-L.; Zaharia, Anamaria; Sarbu, Andrei; Teodorescu, Mircea; Miron, Andreea; Paruch, Lisa; Paruch, Adam; Olaru, Andreea G.; Iordache, Tanta-V. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-02-22)The present work aims to study the influence of ammonium-quaternary monomers and chitosan, obtained from different sources, upon the effect of semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) hydrogels upon the removal of ... -
Mitigating Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Wastewater by Sequential Treatment with Novel Nanomaterials
Paruch, Lisa; Paruch, Adam; Iordache, Tanta-Verona; Olaru, Andreea Gabriela; Sarbu, Andrei (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05-15)Wastewater (WW) has been widely recognized as the major sink of a variety of emerging pathogens (EPs), antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which may disseminate and impact wider ... -
Molecular Identification of Infectious Enteropathogens in Faeces of Healthy Horses
Paruch, Lisa; Paruch, Adam (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-11)Zoogenic faecal contamination of the environment is one of the indices included in the evaluation of ecological threats, health hazards and adverse impacts on various ecosystems. The risks and environmental concerns are ... -
Molecularly imprinted films and quaternary ammonium-functionalized microparticles working in tandem against pathogenic bacteria in wastewaters
Gavrila, Ana-Mihaela; Zaharia, Anamaria; Paruch, Lisa; Perrin, Francois Xavier; Sarbu, Andrei; Olaru, Andreea Gabriela; Paruch, Adam; Iordache, Tanta-Verona (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-11-15)Despite major efforts to combat pollution, the presence of pathogenic bacteria is still detected in surface water, soil and even crops due to poor purification of domestic and industrial wastewaters. Therefore, we have ... -
An Overview of Microbial Source Tracking Using Host-Specific Genetic Markers to Identify Origins of Fecal Contamination in Different Water Environments
Paruch, Lisa; Paruch, Adam (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06-04)Fecal contamination of water constitutes a serious health risk to humans and environmental ecosystems. This is mainly due to the fact that fecal material carries a variety of enteropathogens, which can enter and circulate ... -
