TL;DR: This review provides an outline of the main methods that either have been used or have been suggested for use in microbial source tracking and some of the limitations associated with those methods.

TL;DR: The results from this metagenomic survey demonstrated the presence of genes associated with resistance to antibiotics and carbohydrate metabolism suggesting that the swine gut microbiome may be shaped by husbandry practices.

TL;DR: Examination of host distribution patterns among fecal bacteria in the order Bacteroidales revealed both endemic and cosmopolitan distributions among the eight hosts, with the goal of using endemic sequences as markers for fecal source identification in aquatic environments.

TL;DR: It is proposed that it is necessary to consider each of these aspects in order to advance towards a unifying framework in source identification, so that fecal pollution monitoring can be reliably used for comprehensive environmental microbial monitoring, to develop risk assessment models, and to implement and validate adequate management practices.

TL;DR: To characterize the composition of microbial populations in a distribution system simulator (DSS) by direct sequence analysis of 16S rDNA clone libraries by direct sequences analysis of16S r DNA clone libraries.
