Genotypic and Phenotypic Characterization of Escherichia coli Isolates from Feces, Hands, and Soils in Rural Bangladesh via the Colilert Quanti-Tray System

Appl. Environ. Microbiol., 81(5), 1735–1743.

By: T. Julian*, M. Islam*, A. Pickering*, S. Roy*, E. Fuhrmeister*, A. Ercumen*, A. Harris*, J. Bishai*, K. Schwab*

MeSH headings : Bacterial Typing Techniques; Bangladesh; Escherichia coli / classification; Escherichia coli / genetics; Escherichia coli / isolation & purification; Escherichia coli / physiology; False Positive Reactions; Feces / microbiology; Genotyping Techniques; Glucuronidase / analysis; Hand / microbiology; Humans; Rural Population; Soil Microbiology
TL;DR: It is concluded that Colilert, and likely other β-glucuronidase-based assays, is appropriate for detection of E. coli on hands and in soils with low false-positive rates. (via Semantic Scholar)

Upgrading a Piped Water Supply from Intermittent to Continuous Delivery and Association with Waterborne Illness: A Matched Cohort Study in Urban India

PLOS Medicine, 12(10), e1001892.

MeSH headings : Child Mortality; Child, Preschool; Drinking Water / microbiology; Female; Humans; India / epidemiology; Infant; Infant, Newborn; Male; Prevalence; Urban Health; Water Microbiology; Water Quality; Water Supply / standards; Waterborne Diseases / epidemiology; Waterborne Diseases / mortality
TL;DR: Continuous supply was associated with lower prevalence of dysentery in children in low-income households and lower typhoid fever incidence, suggesting that intermittently operated piped water systems are a significant transmission mechanism for Salmonella typhi and Dysentery-causing pathogens in this urban population, despite centralized water treatment.

Effects of source- versus household contamination of tubewell water on child diarrhea in rural Bangladesh: a randomized controlled trial
