Quantification of enterococci and human adenoviruses in environmental samples by real-time PCR

Article Abstract:

The development of real-time PCR methods for quantification of both human adenoviruses and enterococci in environmental samples is described. The real time PCR methods showed a greater sensitivity in detection of adenoviruses in sewage samples than the viral plaque assay and in detection of entercocci in coastal waters than the bacterial culture method.

Seasonal detection of human viruses and coliphage in Newport bay, California

Article Abstract:

The occurrence and the distribution of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), F coliphage, and human adenovirus and enterovirus is investigated for an entire year at 15 locations around the Newport Bay watershed. The detection of human viruses depends on a distribution pattern that is the opposite of that of FIB and coliphage.

Prevalence of cholera toxin genes (ctxA and zot) among non-O1/O139 Vibrio cholerae strains from Newport Bay, California

Article Abstract:

The diversity and prevalence of virulence genes ctxA and zot among non- O1/O139 V. cholerae isolates from the Newport Bay, California, watershed region of nonepidemicty is reported. The findings suggest that ctxA is prevalent in the region of nonepidemicty and is likely to have an environmental origin.
