Identification of potential microbial risk factors associated with fecal indicator exceedances at recreational beaches

Abstract Background Fecal bacterial densities are proxy indicators of beach water quality, and beach posting decisions are made based on Beach Action Value (BAV) exceedances for a beach. However, these traditional beach monitoring methods do not reflect the full extent of microbial water quality cha...
