What happens to tap water when you are away from home? Day-to-day water stagnation in building plumbing can potentially result in water quality deterioration

In 2007, a waterborne outbreak of Cryptosporidium hominis infection occurred in western Ireland, resulting in 242 laboratory-confirmed cases and an uncertain number of unconfirmed cases.

the compositions of bottled water microbiota and organic substrates that fuel microbial activity, and how both change after bottling, are still largely unknown.

We hypothesize that the increase in reported Legionnaires’ disease from June 2014 to November 2015 in Genesee County, MI

Here, we applied the concept of pre-PCR processing to optimize RT-qPCR detection of norovirus genogroup I (GI), genogroup II (GII), and hepatitis A virus (HAV) in challenging water matrices.

Cryptosporidium and arsenic were selected as hazards of greatest concern in microbiology and chemistry, respectively

The general consensus is that the abundance of tap water bacteria is greatly influenced by water purification and distribution

We analysed 962 source water samples across nine locations to profile the occurrence, rate and timing of infectious, human pathogenic Cryptosporidium in surface waters entering drinking water reservoirs during rainfall-runoff conditions

Free-living amoebae (FLA) are ubiquitous organisms present in various natural and artificial environments, such as drinking water storage towers (DWST).
