a
Values in parentheses refer to the number of individual reference fecal samples used to prepare respective composites.
b
n, number of replicate measurements used to estimate target concentrations; mean, estimated log10 number of copies per 1 ng of total DNA from fecal sample; standard deviations are for four qPCR replicates.
c
Human fecal sample composite, not sewage DNA.
