摘要

Microbial source tracking(MST)uses various approaches to classify fecal-indicator microorganisms to source hosts.Reproducibility,accuracy,and robustness of seven phenotypic and genotypic MST protocols were evaluated by use of Escherichia co//from an eight-host library of known-source isolates and a separate,blinded challenge library.In reproducibility tests,measuring each protocol's ability to reclassify blinded replicates,only one(pulsed-field gel electrophoresis;PFGE)correctly classified all test replicates to host species;three protocols classified 48-62 correctly,and the remaining three classified fewer than 25 correctly.In accuracy tests,measuring each protocol's ability to correctly classify new isolates,ribotyping with EcoRI and PvuW approached 100 correct classification but only 6 of isolates were classified;four of the other six protocols(antibiotic resistance analysis,PFGE,and two repetitive-element PCR protocols)achieved better than random accuracy rates when 30-100 of challenge isolates were classified.In robustness tests,measuring each protocol's ability to recognize isolates from nonlibrary hosts,three protocols correctly classified 33-100 of isolates as "unknown origin,"whereas four protocols classified all isolates to a source category.A relevance test,summarizing interpretations for a hypothetical water sample containing 30 challenge isolates,indicated that false-positive classifications would hinder interpretations for most protocols.Study results indicate that more representation in known-source libraries and better classification accuracy would be needed before field application.Thorough reliability assessment of classification results is crucial before and during application of MST protocols.
