Article Abstract
As part of Singapore's One Health antimicrobial resistance (AMR) management, this work was designed to understand the AMR burden in recreational beach waters using extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL-EC) as an indicator. A total of 90 water samples were collected from six different recreational beaches over three different time periods. Only 28/90 (31.3%) water samples yielded colonies ranging from 1 to 80 colony-forming units/100 ml. Screening of all colonies using CHROMID ESBL agar and Luria-Bertani broth supplemented with ceftriaxone showed that none was ESBL-EC. Further monitoring is required to understand the prevalence of ESBL-EC spatiotemporally, contributing to the national AMR surveillance program and providing timely risk assessment for exposure to ESBL-EC.

The understanding of the impact of heterogeneous landforms within river wetland systems on soil organic carbon is rather limited. We conducted plant community surveys and soil sample collection on four main types of micro landforms, namely the Zhuxi River bank slope, edge beach, floodplain, and heart beach of Wannian Zhuxi National Wetland Park in Jiangxi Province. We measured soil physical and chemical properties and the contents of soil organic carbon components at depths of 0-30 cm for different micro landforms.

Yeasts possess a range of environmental adaptations that allow them to colonize soil and sand. They can circulate seasonally between different components of lake ecosystems, including beach sand, water, and the coastal phyllosphere. The accumulation of people on beaches promotes the development and transmission of yeasts, posing an increasing sanitary and epidemiological risk.

Beach Sand Mycobiome is currently among the most important health challenges for viticulture in the world. Remarkably, the study of fungal communities in coastal beach sand and recreational waters remains underexplored despite their potential implications for human health. This research aimed to assess the prevalence of fungal species and the antifungal susceptibility profiles of fungi recovered from the beaches of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

Beaches are crucial for coastal tourism, but their condition is increasingly degraded by recreational activities and beachgoers. Litter, a growing issue in coastal and marine environments, poses a significant environmental threat. In China, research on litter abundance and pollution levels, particularly in coastal areas, remains limited.
