Wastewater from hospitals and facilities that receive patients infected with contagious microorganisms has dense concentrations of these pathogens, which may represent a threat to public health. Thus, proper wastewater treatment to remove these contaminants before discharging to the sewage system has been a great concern to the society. Aside from chemical and physical treatment, biological alternatives have been more widely studied and implemented for wastewater processing to avoid unwanted effects and to lower the costs. This study aimed to use lysing enzymes coupled to magnetic amino nanoparticles functionalized with specific antibodies (NP-NH
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
