The aim of this study was to identify whether periodontitis induces gut microbiota dysbiosis
via invasion by salivary microbes. First, faecal and salivary samples were collected from …

In this minireview, we expand upon traditional microbial source tracking (MST) methods by
discussing two recently developed, next‐generation‐sequencing (NGS)‐based MST …

Abstract The development of Microbial Source Tracking (MST) technologies was borne out
of necessity. This was largely due to the: 1) inadequacies of the fecal indicator bacterial …

Drinking water purification and distribution processes shape the bacterial community in tap
water; however, this study calls attention to the impact of source water on tap water bacterial …

The microbial community coalescence describes the mixing of microbial communities and
the merging of their surrounding environments. Despite its prevalence in natural ecosystems …

The general consensus is that the abundance of tap water bacteria is greatly influenced by
water purification and distribution. Those bacteria that are released from biofilm in the …

Abstract Background Clostridiales and Bacteroidales are uniquely adapted to the gut
environment and have co-evolved with their hosts resulting in convergent microbiome …

Metagenomics can unveil the genetic content of the total microbiota in different
environments, such as food products and the guts of humans and livestock. It is therefore …

Stormwater runoff has been known to cause increases in bacterial loadings in urban
streams. However, little is known about its impacts on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in …

Soil erosion and fine particle transport are two of the major challenges in food security and
water quality for the growing global population. Information of the areas prone to erosion is …
