| Summary |
Conventional assessments of water quality are based on the determination of bacterial indicator numbers. The detection of an indicator organism only provides presumptive evidence of the presence of harmful organisms By using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to monitor water quality, indicators and pathogenic organisms can be specifically detected with a high sensitivity. The research illustrates the importance of optimisation and the maintenance of reaction efficiency in the accuracy and precision of the PCR |
