Assessment and application of host-specific Bacteroidales genetic markers for microbial source tracking of river water in Japan.

Microbial source tracking using host-specific microbial genetic markers is considered a promising approach to determine fecal contamination sources of aquatic environments. This study aimed to assess the application of previously developed host-specific Bacteroidales quantitative PCR assays to micro...
