“…Based on their results, it was suggested that mitoHu (human mitochondrial DNA marker) and HF183 can be applied in source tracking. In another study, Pasha et al (2018) also concluded that HF183 was correlated with coliforms with correlation coefficient of 0.79. They obtained water samples from a wastewater treatment plant in South Texas, and used BacHum and E. coli as fecal source tracking, along with human mtDNA as a direct marker.…”

This review paper focuses on detection and quantification techniques of indicator organisms that can be used for water quality assessment. The environmental pathogens that are critical to understand and better evaluate water quality are also discussed in this paper. Several recent studies using culture-independent methods such as microbial source tracking, pulsed field gel electrophoresis, mitochondrial DNA, and next generation sequencing to assess various environmental samples and water bodies have been reviewed.
