摘要: Avian fecal droppings may negatively impact environmental water quality due to the presence of high concentrations indicator bacteria (FIB) and zoonotic pathogens. This study was aimed at evaluating performance characteristics utility a Helicobacter spp. associated GFD marker by screening 265 wastewater samples from range avian non-avian host groups two continents (Brisbane, Australia Florida, USA). The host-prevalence -specificity this among tested Brisbane were 0.58 0.94 (maximum value 1.00). These values for Florida 0.30 (host-prevalence) 1.00 (host-specificity). markers in nucleic acid measured test concentration 10 ng laboratories using quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay. mean (5.2 × 103 gene copies) orders magnitude higher than (8.6 101 copies). evaluated testing River, freshwater creek Florida. Among 18 83% (n = 18) positive marker, ranged 6.0 101–3.2 102 copies per 100 mL water. In all, 92% 25) also with ranging 2.8 101–1.3 104 Based on results, it can be concluded that is highly specific groups, could used as reliable detect amount pollution waters.
