Differential decay of human faecal Bacteroides in marine and freshwater

Creator:

Green, Hyatt C., Shanks, Orin C., Sivaganesan, Mano, Haugland, Richard A., and Field, Katharine G.

Abstract:

Genetic markers from Bacteroides and other faecal bacteria are being tested for inclusion in regulations to quantify aquatic faecal contamination and estimate public health risk. For the method to be used quantitatively across environments, persistence and decay of markers must be understood. We measured concentrations of contaminant molecular markers targeting...

Distribution, decay, and quantification of fecal source-tracking markers

Creator:

Green, Hyatt C.

Abstract:

Waterborne fecal contamination poses serious risks to human health and can disrupt aquatic ecosystems. Molecular marker methods are widely used to identify and, in some cases, quantify the sources of contamination and guide management decisions regarding water resource protection. However, methods to detect some likely sources of fecal contamination such...
