Title: Evaluation of select sensors for real-time monitoring of Escherichia coli in water distribution systems.

Authors: Miles, Syreeta L; Sinclair, Ryan G; Riley, Mark R; Pepper, Ian L

Published In Appl Environ Microbiol, (2011 Apr)

Abstract: This study evaluated real-time sensing of Escherichia coli as a microbial contaminant in water distribution systems. Most sensors responded to increased E. coli concentrations, showing that select sensors can detect microbial water quality changes and be utilized as part of a contaminant warning system.
