Abstract

Studies highlight the persistent global challenge of Escherichia coli contamination in drinking water, impacting public health worldwide. Research includes the development of novel biosensors for rapid, real-time detection, crucial for preventing waterborne disease outbreaks. Assessments reveal high contamination levels and associated health risks in rural communities, particularly in Ethiopia and Southeast Asia, where antibiotic resistance is a growing concern. Investigations also focus on identifying fecal contamination sources, understanding E. coli persistence in distribution systems, and evaluating effective household water treatment technologies. These efforts emphasize the urgent need for improved surveillance, targeted interventions, and robust water quality management to ensure safe drinking water and mitigate health risks across diverse settings.
