Dataset for A loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay to detect Bacteroidales and assess risk of fecal contamination

We developed a rapid risk-assessment assay for fecal contamination by targeting Bacteroidales using loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). The assay allows for naked-eye observation of reactions with as few as ~8 copies of Bacteroidales per cm2 of the surface in the field. We evaluated this assay with complex field samples as well as on-site field studies. In this dataset, we've included the raw and processed data files associated with the research project.
