TL;DR: Results suggest that several genetic markers have considerable potential for measuring human-associated contamination in polluted environmental waters, which will be helpful in water quality monitoring, pollution modeling and health risk assessment to guide target-oriented water safety management across the globe.
Clostridium perfringens Is Not Suitable for the Indication of Fecal Pollution from Ruminant Wildlife but Is Associated with Excreta from Nonherbivorous Animals and Human Sewage
Julia Vierheilig,Christina Frick,René Mayer,Alexander K. T. Kirschner,Alexander K. T. Kirschner,Georg H. Reischer,Julia Derx,Robert L. Mach,Regina Sommer,Regina Sommer,Andreas H. Farnleitner +10 more
TL;DR: The results reveal that using C. perfringens as a conservative water quality indicator for total fecal pollution monitoring is no longer justified but suggest that it can be used as a tracer for excreta from nonherbivorous wildlife and human sewage.

TL;DR: A comprehensive meta-analysis provides the scientific status quo of this field, including trend analyses and literature statistics, outlining identified application areas, and discussing the benefits and challenges of nucleic acid-based analysis in GFPD as mentioned in this paper .
Poikilothermic Animals as a Previously Unrecognized Source of Fecal Indicator Bacteria in a Backwater Ecosystem of a Large River
Christina Frick,Julia Vierheilig,Rita Linke,Domenico Savio,Horst Zornig,Roswitha Antensteiner,Christian Baumgartner,Christian Bucher,Alfred Paul Blaschke,Julia Derx,Alexander K. T. Kirschner,Alexander K. T. Kirschner,G. Ryzinska-Paier,René Mayer,Dagmar Seidl,Theodossia Nadiotis-Tsaka,Regina Sommer,Andreas H. Farnleitner,Andreas H. Farnleitner +18 more
TL;DR: The long-standing hypothesis that only humans and homeothermic animals are primary sources of SFIB is challenged by the results of this study and it is hypothesized that the importance of poikilotherms as sources ofSFIB is strongly correlated with the ambient temperature and would therefore be of increased significance in subtropical and tropical habitats and water resources.

Automated Sampling Procedures Supported by High Persistence of Bacterial Fecal Indicators and Bacteroidetes Genetic Microbial Source Tracking Markers in Municipal Wastewater during Short-Term Storage at 5°C
René Mayer,Julia Vierheilig,Lukas Egle,Georg H. Reischer,Ernis Saracevic,Robert L. Mach,Alexander K. T. Kirschner,Matthias Zessner,Regina Sommer,Andreas H. Farnleitner +9 more
TL;DR: 24-h autosampling procedures with 5°C storage conditions can be recommended for the investigation of fecal indicators or Bacteroidetes genetic markers at municipal WWTPs, as the potential lack of persistence is the main argument against such procedures.
