Performance of forty-one microbial source tracking methods: a twenty-seven lab evaluation study.
Alexandria B. Boehm,Laurie C. Van De Werfhorst,John F. Griffith,Patricia A. Holden,Jenny Jay,Orin C. Shanks,Dan Wang,Stephen B. Weisberg +7 more
TL;DR: The most sensitive and specific MST methodologies, based on an analysis of presence/absence of each marker in target and non-target fecal samples, were HF183 endpoint and HF183SYBR (human), CF193 and Rum2Bac (ruminant), CowM2 and CowM3 (cow), BacCan (dog), Gull2SYBR and LeeSeaGull (gull), and Pig2B Bac (pig).

TL;DR: Overall, HF183 Taqman(®) was found to be the most effective marker of human fecal contamination in this California-based study.

TL;DR: How nine different fecal characterization methods provide different measures of fecal concentration in water, and how results varied across twelve different faecal pollution sources is investigated is investigated.

A coupled modeling and molecular biology approach to microbial source tracking at Cowell Beach, Santa Cruz, CA, United States.
Todd L. Russell,Lauren M. Sassoubre,Dan Wang,Shelly Masuda,Helen Chen,Cherrie Soetjipto,Abdulrahman H. Hassaballah,Alexandria B. Boehm +7 more
TL;DR: Molecular source tracking methods indicate the FIB at the beach is of human and bird origin, and the MST approach presented here provides a framework for future efforts to investigate potential FIB sources and the relative contributions of those sources.

TL;DR: The MST methods tested here were originally designed for gulls but were found in this study to also detect feces from other birds, particularly feces composited from pigeons, and Sequencing efforts showed that some pigeon feces from California contained sequences similar to C. marimammalium found in gull feces.
