  • Analysis of Bacteroidales 16S rRNA gene sequences from a geographically isolated human population

    Creator:
    Petersen, Carolyn A.
    Abstract:
    Standard methods of measuring fecal pollution in water do not distinguish between human and non-human sources. Molecular technology enabled the development of host-specific markers that distinguish fecal sources. Human specific PCR primers, HF183F and HF134F, were designed based on phylogenetic analyses of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences from the Bacteroidales...

  • Fecal Bacteroidetes host distributions and environmental source tracking

    Creator:
    Dick, Linda K.
    Abstract:
    Contamination of recreational and shellfish waters with fecal pollution is a major water quality issue with associated economic impacts and human health risks. Reliable fecal source identification and rapid, quantitative analyses are essential components of risk assessment. Enteric bacteria that are endemic to specific hosts have a potential role as...
