Biocide resistant and antibiotic cross-resistant potential pathogens from sewage and river water from a wastewater treatment facility in the North-West, Potchefstroom, South Africa
Mann, B.C.; Bezuidenhout, J.J.; Bezuidenhout, C.C. (IWA Publishing, 2019)Exposure to antibiotics, biocides, chemical preservatives, and heavy metals in different settings such as wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) may apply selective pressure resulting in the enrichment of multiple resistant, ... -
Detection and quantification of clinically relevant plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase genes in aquatic systems
Coertze, R.D.; Bezuidenhout, C.C. (IWA Publishing, 2020)The extent and impact of plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase genes (pAmpCs) prevalence in aquatic environments is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to detect and quantify pAmpCs from the aquatic environment. ... -
Diversity and characteristics of yeasts from water sources in the North West Province, South Africa
Van Wyk, D.A.B.; Bezuidenhout, C.C.; Rhode, O. H. J. (IWA Publishing, 2012)Yeasts form an important part of ecosystems. Yeast biodiversity in the North West Province, South Africa, remains largely unexplored. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity and characteristics of yeasts ... -
Minerals, trace elements and antioxidant phytochemicals in wild African dark-green leafy vegetables (morogo)
Van der Walt, A.M.; Loots, D.T.; Ibrahim, M.I.M.; Bezuidenhout, C.C. (ASSAf, 2009)Wild African dark-green leafy vegetables (morogo) are an important constituent of the traditional starch-based African diet. Three wild morogo types were sampled from different geographical regions in South Africa to ... -
Morphological structure of Zulu sheep based on principal component analysis of body measurements
Mavule, B.S.; Bezuidenhout, C.C.; Muchenje, V.; Kunene, N.W. (Elsevier, 2013)Information regarding morphology of indigenous sheep in South Africa is scant, and even where data exist it is rarely presented using standardised methodologies. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to 13 body ... -
Prevalence, antibiotic resistance and virulence of Enterococcus spp. From wastewater treatment plant effluent and receiving waters in South Africa
Molale-Tom, L.G.; Bezuidenhout, C.C. (IWA Publishing, 2020)Poorly operating wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) result in faecal pollution of receiving waters, posing a health risk to humans and animals. The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial resistance patterns ... -
Stripped gas liquor (SGL) as process cooling water: analysis of the effects of operational conditions on microbial community dynamics, fouling, scaling and corrosion
Gubuza, D.M.; Riedel, K.J.; Jansen van Rensburg, P.J.; Bezuidenhout, C.C. (Elsevier, 2008)More than 30 million tons per annum of coal are gasified at the various Sasol plants in South Africa via the Fischer–Tropsch process. This process results in the production of synthesis gas and a condensate stream (van Dyk ...
