Fecal Source Tracking in Water by Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies Using Host-Specific <i>Escherichia coli</i> Genetic Markers
23 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
High levels of fecal bacteria are a concern for the aquatic environment, and identifying sources of those bacteria is important for mitigating fecal pollution and preventing waterborne disease. Escherichia coli has been used as an indicator of fecal pollution, however less success has been achieved using this organism for library-independent microbial source tracking. In this study, using next-generation...
