Abstract:Wastewater systems represent a threat for the transmission of pathogens in the case of improper treatment. Systematic surveillance based on wastewater is important as an early warning system, e.g., COVID-19. However, current procedures for microorganism identification are often not applicable at the pointof-need. In this study, a rapid and portable DNA extraction protocol was developed and verified to identify the microbial wastewater composition by nanopore sequencing. The study compared different pretreatmen… Show more
