Land Use, Weather, and Water Quality Factors Associated With Fecal Contamination of Northeastern Streams That Span an Urban-Rural Gradient

Daniel L. Weller et al.

Summary: This study aims to understand the association between environmental factors and fecal contamination of agricultural water sources. The findings suggest that microbial levels are positively associated with temperature, nutrient, and sediment levels. The impact of land use on fecal contamination varies depending on the specific fecal indicator bacteria.

Small Produce Farm Environments Can Harbor Diverse Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria spp. Populations

Alexandra Belias et al.

Summary: This study conducted a survey on Listeria diversity on a farm in New York, revealing a significant presence of Listeria and L. monocytogenes in water sources and nearby animal feces. Characterization through PFGE showed persistence and reintroduction of Listeria subtypes, as well as diversity among different samples.

The effect of vegetation barriers at reducing the transmission of Salmonella and Escherichia coli from animal operations to fresh produce

Ayanna Glaize et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that establishing a vegetation barrier on small-scale sustainable farms can reduce the risk of E. coli and Salmonella transmission from animal farms to fresh produce fields. However, pathogen contamination is not solely from animal farm fecal samples, as environmental factors and farm setup may also contribute to fresh produce contamination.

Integrative Survey of 68 Non-overlapping Upstate New York Watersheds Reveals Stream Features Associated With Aquatic Fecal Contamination

Hyatt Green et al.

Summary: Aquatic fecal contamination poses risks to human health by introducing pathogens into water used for various purposes. Identifying contaminant sources and factors affecting their transport, storage, and decay is crucial for protecting human health. Microbial source-tracking techniques can help identify predominant contaminant sources and quantify factors affecting the behavior of fecal contaminants in water.

Nationwide genomic atlas of soil-dwelling Listeria reveals effects of selection and population ecology on pangenome evolution

Jingqiu Liao et al.

Summary: The study of 1,854 Listeria isolates from soil in the contiguous United States revealed geographically prevalent phylogroups influenced by environmental factors such as soil moisture, molybdenum, and salinity concentrations. Analysis of whole-genome data showed that cosmopolitan phylogroups with broad habitat ranges had more open pangenomes, weaker linkage disequilibrium, and a large fraction of genes affected by positive selection, indicating that genome flexibility and recombination are driven by adaptation to survive in variable environments.

Rapid qPCR-Based Water Quality Monitoring in New York State Recreational Waters

Cristina P. Fernandez-Baca et al.

Summary: Current culture-based methods for determining fecal indicator bacteria levels on public swimming beaches have limitations, and faster on-site testing methods are needed. The study showed that rapid in-field workflow for detecting fecal enterococci using Biomeme handheld devices could be effective. However, further research is needed to establish beach-specific correlation curves before using qPCR assays to inform beach decisions.
