Abstract
Fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) are the basis for water quality regulations and are considered proxies for waterborne pathogens when conducting human health risk assessments. The direct detection of pathogens in water and simultaneous identification of the source of fecal contamination are possible with microarrays, circumventing the drawbacks to FIB approaches. A multigene target microarray was used to assess the prevalence of waterborne pathogens in a fecally impaired mixed-use watershed. The results indicate that fecal coliforms have improved substantially in the watershed since its listing as a 303(d) impaired stream in 2002 and are now near United States recreational water criterion standards. However, waterborne pathogens are still prevalent in the watershed, as viruses (bocavirus, hepatitis E and A viruses, norovirus, and enterovirus G), bacteria (Campylobacter spp., Clostridium spp., enterohemorrhagic and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, uropathogenic E. coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Helicobacter spp., Salmonella spp., and Vibrio spp.), and eukaryotes (Acanthamoeba spp., Entamoeba histolytica, and Naegleria fowleri) were detected. A comparison of the stream microbial ecology with that of sewage, cattle, and swine fecal s...Continue Reading
