Identification of fecal pollution sources of karst waters by a combination of Bacteroidales genetic marker, bacterial indicators, and environmental variables
Fecal contamination in Midwestern karst regions was evaluated by a combination of Bacteroidales-based microbial source tracking (MST), traditional bacterial indicators, and environmental variables. Water samples from springs and wells were collected from Illinois, Wisconsin, Kentucky and Missouri …

Development of a 16S rRNA gene sequence as a biomarker specific to the gastrointestinal tract and feces of swine based on suppressive subtractive hybridization
Fecal contamination of water bodies causes environmental issues and human health risks. Swine are a major contributor of fecal inputs to environmental waters due to their importance in American agriculture. Water quality currently is regulated using fecal coliforms, which have natural reservoirs in …
