Microbial data for "Two risk assessments: Evaluating the use of indicator HF183 Bacteroides versus pathogen measurements for modelling recreational water risks in an urban watershed"

Microbial data for the article "Two risk assessments: Evaluating the use of indicator HF183 Bacteroides versus pathogen measurements for modelling recreational water risks in an urban watershed". Surface water samples (n = 70) were collected in 2018 - 2020 at 7 sites near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA and were analyzed for pathogens and microbial source tracking markers by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Data were collected to characterize fecal sources of contamination and identify pathogen hazards to support an assessment of the risk posed to recreators for acute gastrointestinal illness from exposure to waterborne pathogens. Sites were on Cobbs Creek, Tacony Creek, and Wissahickon Creek. Analysis results are reported in gene copies per liter.

本数据集对应学术论文《两项风险评估：比较指示菌HF183拟杆菌（Bacteroides HF183）与病原体检测在城市流域休闲用水风险建模中的应用》的相关微生物数据。2018年至2020年，研究团队于美国宾夕法尼亚州费城周边的7处采样点采集地表水样本共70份，采用定量聚合酶链反应（quantitative polymerase chain reaction）对样本中的病原体及微生物源追踪标记物开展检测分析。本数据集的采集目的为表征粪便污染来源、识别病原体危害，以支撑针对暴露于水源性病原体所引发的休闲使用者急性胃肠道疾病风险的评估工作。采样点分布于科布斯溪（Cobbs Creek）、塔科尼溪（Tacony Creek）与威萨希肯溪（Wissahickon Creek）。所有分析结果均以每升基因拷贝数为单位进行报告。
