Development of a New Predictive index (Bathing Water Quality Index, BWQI) Based on <i>Escherichia coli</i> Physiological States for Bathing Waters Monitoring

Bacterial pathogens in coastal aquatic ecosystems pose a potential public health hazard for bathing water use. The European Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC) currently relies on the culturability of fecal pollution bacterial indicators such as <i>Escherichia coli,</i> without consideri...
