Epithelial cells that contain a large number of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are shed in host
feces. Recently, researchers have developed mtDNA markers targeting mtDNA of specific …

To reveal the occurrence and mechanisms for dispersal of antibiotic resistance (AbR)
among the microbial assemblages inhabiting impacted coastal environments, we performed …

We investigated the occurrence and distribution of antibiotic‐resistance genes (ARGs) and
the composition of a bacterial community under conditions of rainfall on a recreational beach …

Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasing public health concern for
humans, animals, and the environment. However, the contributions of spatially distributed …

Surface water monitoring and microbial source tracking (MST) are used to identify host
sources of fecal pollution and protect public health. However, knowledge of the locations of …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is used as a genetic marker to track fecal contamination in
surface water. Its potential to effectively discriminate between the nonpoint sources of fecal …

Abstract The Lamprey River Hydrological Observatory (LRHO) is a lowland coastal
watershed in southeastern New Hampshire (USA). The LRHO offers a platform to investigate …

Our book addresses the needs of practitioners, engineers, scientists, regulators, resource
managers, planners, and others with a need to know about septic systems. It arose after …

Microbial source tracking (MST) using host-specific Bacteroidales and mitochondrial DNA
(mtDNA) markers is an efficient tool to identify the sources of fecal contamination in …

Faecal microorganisms represent a key threat to human health. Potential origins of faecal
microbial contamination in a typical urban-representative micro-scale were evaluated. The …
