Metagenome-based comparisons of decay rates and host-specificity of fecal microbial communities for improved microbial source tracking

2021-06-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Fecal material in the environment is a primary source of pathogens that cause waterborne diseases and affect over a billion people worldwide. Microbial source tracking (MST) assays based on single genes (e.g., 16S rRNA) do not always provide the resolution needed to attribute fecal contamination sources. In this work, we used dialysis bag mesocosms simulating a freshwater habitat that were spike...
