Environmental MicrobiologyBiofilm Sampling for Detection of Cryptosporidium Oocysts in a Southeastern Pennsylvania WatershedMonitoring Cryptosporidium occurrence in watersheds that provide drinking water is necessary to determine where limited resources should most effectively be directed to protect consumers from waterborne exposure to pathogenic oocysts. Biofilms are a useful tool to monitor complex watersheds and identify point sources of Cryptosporidium oocyst contamination that need to be managed to protect public health. Compared to...
Food MicrobiologyStrain-Specific Differences in Survival of Campylobacter spp. in Naturally Contaminated Turkey Feces and WaterCampylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are leading foodborne pathogens, with poultry as a major reservoir. Due to their growth requirements, these Campylobacter spp. may be unable to replicate once excreted by their avian hosts, but their survival in feces and the environment is...
