Design and testing of a PCR assay to quantify coliform bacteria in drinking water
2024-09-06
Abstract excerpt
Here we present an enhanced lacZ qPCR assay targeting β-galactosidase, encoded by lacZ, to assess coliforms in drinking water. Coliform bacteria are a diverse group of over 80 species, commonly found in enteric environments, and act as indicators of water supply contamination. Due to the significant variation among coliforms, and the size of the group designing a single target was challenging, as previous studies...
