Isolation of fecal coliform bacteria from the diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin centrata)

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to examine the isolation of fecal coliform bacteria from the diamondback terrapin, Malaclemys terrapin centrata. Fecal and total coliform bacteria were isolated from the feces and cloaca of the estuarine diamondback terrapin. Results revealed that Escherichia coli was the predominat fecal coliform species isolated. Salmonella species were also identified from the gastrointestinal tract of the terrapin.

Classification of antibiotic resistance patterns of indicator bacteria by discriminant analysis: use in predicting the source of fecal contamination in subtropical waters

Article Abstract:

Results discuss the application of antibiotic resistance analysis using discriminant analysis technique for differentiating animal and human fecal isolates from waters of Florida and to relate antibiotic resistance patterns to the bacterial source. Data show that the fecal streptococcus and fecal coliform formed groups of isolates from known sources with accuracy.
