Identification of Bacterial DNA Markers for the Detection of Human Fecal Pollution in Water
6 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
We used genome fragment enrichment and bioinformatics to identify several microbial DNA sequences with high potential for use as markers in PCR assays for detection of human fecal contamination in water. Following competitive solution-phase hybridization of total DNA from human and pig fecal samples, 351 plasmid clones were sequenced and were determined to define 289 different genomic DNA regions. These putative...
