The utility of Escherichia coli as a contamination indicator for rural drinking water: Evidence from whole genome sequencing

22 Jan 2021

Abstract excerpt

Across the water sector, Escherichia coli is the preferred microbial water quality indicator and current guidance upholds that it indicates recent faecal contamination. This has been challenged, however, by research demonstrating growth of E. coli in the environment. In this study, we used whole genome sequencing to investigate the links between E. coli and recent faecal contamination in drinking water. We...
