Data from: Risk of Gastroenteritis from Swimming at a Wastewater-Impacted Tropical Beach Varies across Localized Scales

This dataset contains measurements of concentrations of MST marker HF183 and fecal indicator microorganisms (fecal coliforms and enterococci). Water samples were collected just outside the river plume in three rivers that impact a Costa Rican beach during the rainy and dry season. Microorganisms were filtered from a 500-mL grab sample onto a 0.45-µm, mixed cellulose ester. Enterococci and fecal coliforms were cultured.HF183 was quantified from nucleic acid using quantitative PCR. We examined microbiological water quality in three rivers that impact a Costa Rican beach.

本数据集收录了MST标志物HF183及粪便指示微生物（粪便大肠菌群和肠球菌）的浓度测量数据。水样采集于三条影响哥斯达黎加海滩的河流的河流羽流外部，分别于雨季和旱季进行。微生物经500毫升的瞬时水样过滤至0.45微米的混合纤维素酯滤膜上。肠球菌和粪便大肠菌群进行了培养，而HF183则通过定量PCR从核酸中定量分析。本研究对三条影响哥斯达黎加海滩的河流的水质微生物学特征进行了考察。
