Abstract
This report compares the performances of two popular genotypic methods used for tracking the sources of fecal pollution in water, ribotyping and repetitive extragenic palindromic-PCR (rep-PCR). The rep-PCR was more accurate, reproducible, and efficient in associating DNA fingerprints of fecal Escherichia coli with human and animal hosts of origin.Entities:
