Factors Associated with Foodborne Pathogens and Fecal Indicator Organisms in Virginia Agricultural Soils
… S. enterica and L. monocytogenes prevalence, fecal indicator bacteria concentration). Three produce farms in Virginia were selected from different regions (i.e., Blue Ridge Highlands, Piedmont, Coastal Plains). Farms were sampled four times to capture seasonal differences. Five soil samples …

Shedding Light on Decay Kinetics of Critical Wastewater Bacteria with Molecular Tools
… Of special concern are decay characteristics of fecal indicator organisms, which can aid design of wastewater treatment processes to eliminate fecal pathogens. This study focuses on characterizing the decay of three strains of the key fecal indicator bacterium, Escherichia coli, and comparing …

Application of Multivariate Statistical Methodology to Model Factors Influencing Fate and Transport of Fecal Pollution in Surface Waters
… is a growing public health concern. While indicator organisms are frequently used as a surrogate measure of pathogen contamination, poor correlation is often observed between indicators and pathogens. Because of adverse health effects associated with poor water quality, an assessment of the …

Novel Time-Integrated Quantification of Sediment-Associated Fecal Indicator Bacteria in Rural Alabama Creek with Straight Pipes
… through "straight pipes." The degree to which fecal microbes are associated with the suspended sediment load has important implications for contamination transport. Current state guidelines require periodic grab sampling to monitor surface water fecal contamination. While technically simple, …
