Process for detection of water-borne microbial pathogens and indicators of human fecal contamination in water samples and kits therefor.

摘要

Processes and kits therefor for detection of water-borne pathogens and indicator organisms in water samples by recovering cells of the pathogens or indicator organisms from a water sample, lysing the cells to recover undegraded DNA, amplifying a target gene sequence of a target gene present in cells of the pathogens or indicator organisms by polymerase chain reaction amplification and detecting the presence of amplified target gene sequence to determine the presence or absence of pathogens or indicator organism in the test sample.
