Sequence-based source tracking of Escherichia coli based on genetic diversity of beta-glucuronidase.

Journal of environmental quality - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

High levels of fecal bacteria are a concern for recreational waters; however, the source of contamination is often unknown. This study investigated whether direct sequencing of a bacterial gene could be utilized for detecting genetic differences between bacterial strains for microbial source tracking. A 525-nucleotide segment of the gene for beta-glucuronidase (uidA) was sequenced in 941 Escherichia coli isolates...
