This study finds higher prevalence of E. coli and cefotaxime-resistant E. coli on soil floors compared to concrete floors in Bangladeshi households, with associations strengthened by domestic animal presence, particularly chickens.

This study evaluates the removal and survival of Ascaris eggs on cement-based surfaces in low-resource settings, finding that mopping removes over 92% of eggs and survival varies with temperature.

This study finds that finished floors in rural Bangladesh are associated with lower E. coli contamination on child hands, food, and water during periods of high rainfall and temperature.

The paper assesses genetic diversity of soil-transmitted helminths across regions and evaluates its impact on molecular diagnostic targets using low-coverage genome sequencing and in vitro assays.

The paper investigates the presence of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes in soil floors and cow dung from rural Bangladeshi households, finding shared and distinct microbial communities and resistance profiles.

This study evaluates E. coli survival and removal on traditional and sustainable cement-based surfaces under field conditions, finding similar performance between fly ash and traditional mixes.
