According to recent research published in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology, "Assessment of health risk and fecal bacterial loads associated with human fecal pollution requires reliable host-specific analytical methods and a rapid quantification approach. We report the development of quantitative PCR assays for quantification of two recently described human-specific genetic markers targeting Bacteroidales-like cell surface-associated genes." "Each assay exhibited a range of quantification from 10 to 1 x 106 copies of target DNA. For each assay, internal amplification controls were developed to detect the presence or absence of amplification...
