Performance Characteristics of qPCR Assays Targeting Human- and Ruminant-Associated<i>Bacteroidetes</i>for Microbial Source Tracking across Sixteen Countries on Six Continents

Abstract excerpt

Numerous quantitative PCR assays for microbial fecal source tracking (MST) have been developed and evaluated in recent years. Widespread application has been hindered by a lack of knowledge regarding the geographical stability and hence applicability of such methods beyond the regional level. This study assessed the performance of five previously reported quantitative PCR assays targeting human-, cattle-, or...
