商品簡介
This second volume in the series focuses on identifying sources of fecal contamination in waterways, making it particularly valuable to environmental biologists. In addition, recent advances made in the field of microbial source tracking (MST) offer researchers working in the food industry the potential to track pathogens to track pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 in foods to their origin. Therefore the topics here include fecal pollution and its impact on public health, the role of MST in public health and scientific studies, assumptions and limitations associated with MST methods, molecular detection and characterization tools, molecular subtyping and source tracking as they relate to food safety, shellfish and MST, statistical issues in microbial source identification, application of MST to human health and national security, and the future of MST studies.
