Therefore, sensitive detection of human fecal pollution in environmental waters is very important to water quality authorities around the globe. Microbial source tracking (MST) utilizes human fecal markers (HFMs) to detect human wastewater pollution in environmental waters. The concentrations of these markers in raw wastewater are considered important because it is likely that a marker whose concentration is high in wastewater will be more frequently detected in polluted waters. In this study, quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays were used to determine the concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB)\n            <jats:named-content content-type=\"genus-species\">Escherichia coli<\/jats:named-content>\n            and\n            <jats:named-content content-type=\"genus-species\">Enterococcus<\/jats:named-content>\n            spp., HFMs\n            <jats:named-content content-type=\"genus-species\">Bacteroides<\/jats:named-content>\n            HF183, human adenoviruses (HAdVs), and polyomaviruses (HPyVs) in raw municipal wastewater influent from various climatic zones in Australia.\n            <jats:named-content content-type=\"genus-species\">E. coli<\/jats:named-content>\n            mean concentrations in pooled human wastewater data sets (from various climatic zones) were the highest (3.2 \u00d7 10\n            <jats:sup>6<\/jats:sup>\n            gene copies per ml), followed by those of HF183 (8.0 \u00d7 10\n            <jats:sup>5<\/jats:sup>\n            gene copies per ml) and\n            <jats:named-content content-type=\"genus-species\">Enterococcus<\/jats:named-content>\n            spp. (3.6 \u00d7 10\n            <jats:sup>5<\/jats:sup>\n            gene copies per ml). HAdV and HPyV concentrations were 2 to 3 orders of magnitude lower than those of FIB and HF183. Strong positive and negative correlations were observed between the FIB and HFM concentrations within and across wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). To identify the most sensitive marker of human fecal pollution, environmental water samples were seeded with raw human wastewater. The results from the seeding experiments indicated that\n            <jats:named-content content-type=\"genus-species\">Bacteroides<\/jats:named-content>\n            HF183 was more sensitive for detecting human fecal pollution than HAdVs and HPyVs. Since the HF183 marker can occasionally be present in nontarget animal fecal samples, it is recommended that HF183 along with a viral marker (HAdVs or HPyVs) be used for tracking human fecal pollution in Australian environmental waters.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/aem.03765-15","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,19]],"date-time":"2015-12-19T03:00:07Z","timestamp":1450494007000},"page":"1316-1323","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Distributions of Fecal Markers in Wastewater from Different Climatic Zones for Human Fecal Pollution Tracking in Australian Surface Waters"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"82","author":[{"given":"W.","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CSIRO Land and Water, Ecosciences Precinct, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia"},{"name":"Faculty of Science, Health and Education, University of the Sunshine Coast, Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.
