The project consortium consisted of three partners: <strong>Aig\u00fces de Barcelona<\/strong>, the <strong>Bosch i Gimpera Foundation<\/strong> \u2014through the research group MARS (Health-Related Water Microbiology) of the University of Barcelona\u2014 and the <strong>University of Valencia<\/strong> \u2014through the Spanish Type Culture Collection (CECT).<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Drinking Water Library (DWL)<\/strong> database is the result of the project, a library of MALDI-TOF MS profiles for the identification of bacteria present in drinking water, generated using Microflex (Bruker) equipment and compatible with Biotyper software. The database includes the profiles of 320 strains, all of them accessible through the CECT: 199 resulted from the collection itself (the majority of which comes from drinking water) and 121 from process water, distribution networks, bottled water and springs, which add up to a total of 3,809 isolates analysed during the project.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the project has facilitated the qualification of the Microbiology Laboratory of Aig\u00fces de Barcelona for the identification of bacteria in drinking water using MALDI-TOF MS technology. The Laboratory has the equipment, as well as experience in its use and in the generation of the DWL database, which expands the database available from Bruker, thereby improving the probability of identifying bacteria in drinking water.<\/p>\n<p>The RETOS-Colaboraci\u00f3n call requires these logos to be included in any promotional material related to the project:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6661\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AEIFEDER-380x212.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AEIFEDER-380x212.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AEIFEDER-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AEIFEDER.jpg 1017w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Drinking Water Library project, funded by the Retos-Colaboraci\u00f3n 2015 (RTC-2015-4496-2) programme, concluded on 31 December last after three years&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6652,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6773"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6773\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6774,"href":"https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6773\/revisions\/6774"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
