An optimized enumeration method for sorbitol-fermenting Bifidobacteria in water samples.
19
TL;DR: A year-long sampling survey of a managed reservoir in Massachusetts provided field validation of the proposed methodology for sorbitol-fermenting Bifidobacteria as a human-related source tracking indicator tool.

Fecal source tracking, the indicator paradigm, and managing water quality.
TL;DR: A critical review of source tracking with emphasis on the extent to which methods have been tested, when methods are applicable, their shortcomings, and their usefulness in predicting public health risk or pathogen occurrence is presented.

Monitoring source water for microbial contamination: evaluation of water quality measures.
TL;DR: Traditional parameters were useful for assessing overall water quality, but they were not intended to differentiate between microbial sources at different locations, and the MST targets utilized pinpointed specific sources of microbial pollution.

Rapid detection of human fecal contamination in estuarine environments by PCR targeting of Bifidobacterium adolescentis.
TL;DR: Enterococci enumerations on mEI media indicated that a tributary to the Little Satilla River with 516 CFU/100 ml was the most polluted of all the rivers tested, while B. adolescentis was not detected in the five other estuaries tested.
