The prevalence of virulence genes specific for Escherichia coli in wastewater samples from wastewater treatment plants with the activated sludge process
Treated wastewater evacuated into the aquatic environment is a potential reservoir of pathogenic and virulent bacteria. The aim of this study was to analyze the presence of genes encoding virulence in E. coli bacteria in samples of untreated (UWW) and treated (TWW) wastewater from 13 wastewater trea...
