Re-Emerging Bacterial Pathogens, Resistance Genes and Promising Bioindicators in Raw and Treated Sewage—Addressing a Known Issue from a Different Angle and Perspective

Municipal wastewater catchments are significant sources of symbiotic, opportunistic, and drug-resistant bacteria that can acquire or enhance their resistance. This “re-emergence of threats” presents a serious public health issue, especially during crisis conditions (COVID-19). The aim of this study was to propose a sam...
