The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Environmental factors influencing the development and spread of antibiotic resistance (2017, neutral): “Research on microbial source tracking, usually aiming at identifying the sources and health risks associated with e.g. leaks of untreated sewage, have generated some knowledge regarding the persistence and re-infection potential of human gut bacteria in the environment (Harwood et al. 2014).”
Current Status of Marker Genes of Bacteroides and Related Taxa for Identifying Sewage Pollution in Environmental Waters (2016, background): “Host sensitivity of a human marker is determined by testing individual human fecal samples, wastewater influent or raw sewage, septic wastewater, and, to a lesser extent, effluent wastewater [26].”
Pepper mild mottle virus as a water quality indicator (2018, positive): “FIB are typically more sensitive to traditional wastewater treatment and chlorination than many enteric viral pathogens.(1,2,5) With this in mind, many researchers have proposed alternative fecal indicator organisms, including pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV).”
