Evaluation of Indicator Bacteria Using Molecular Fingerprinting

Abstract

Characterizes and compares the most important bacterial indicators to determine if they are the same or different at critical control points from the source and through the treatment train and distribution system. Also studies stressed or injured coliform bacteria to determine if there are molecular markers associated with bacteria exposed to chemical and mechanical stressors. Research partner: UKWIR. Published in 2001.
