Opportunities and limitations of molecular methods for quantifying microbial compliance parameters in EU bathing waters

Opportunities and limitations of molecular methods for quantifying microbial compliance parameters in EU bathing waters

The debate over the suitability of molecular biological methods for the enumeration of regulatory microbial parameters (e.g. Faecal Indicator Organisms [FIOs]) in bathing waters versus the use of traditional culture-based methods is of current interest to regulators and the science community. Cultur...
