“…Soils which were fertilized with farmyard manures from pigs containing TCs show a higher content of TC-resistant isolates compared to control plots (Huysman et al 1993). In farmyard manure derived from piglets treated with sulfonamides, 46 % of the original application was detected of which 50 % were in a metabolized form (Berger et al 1986).…”

As well as fertilizer benefits, reutilization of phosphor (P) from secondary sources and recycling materials such as sewage sludge, farmyard manures, composts, biogas residues or meat and bone meal products on agricultural soils bears the great risk of contaminating farm sites with organic xenobiotics. Contamination of groundwater, surface and drinking water as well as of aquatic sediments and soils with pharmaceuticals has been reported (Hamscher et al.

“…In 300 l cooling tanks with pig slurry kept at 8°C, Winkler and Grafe (2000) observed nearly no degradation of TCs during 6 weeks in the sediment where high portions of the TCs are bound, and only a slight degradation in the liquid phase. Soils which were fertilized with farmyard manures from pigs containing TCs show a higher content of TC-resistant isolates compared to control plots (Huysman et al 1993). TCs were found to bond strongly to the soil matrix so that leaching is not likely to occur (Rabolle and Spliid 2000).…”

“…ARA has been successfully used for different indicator organisms: sulphate-reducing Clostridia as indicators of the practice of disposing pig manure to land (Huysman et al, 1993), faecal streptococci (Wiggins, 1996), enterococci (Booth et al, 2003Graves et al, 2002). The main limitation of ARA is that an adequate database of profiles is needed.…”

A key factor in the management and remediation of impaired ground-and surface water is the ability to distinguish the sources of faecal contamination. Several approaches have been adopted as microbial source tracking methods (MST), which are generally classified as culturing, phenotypic, genetic, and chemical MST. None of the techniques used thus far can be considered a standard; important factors, such as the statistical correlation between the source and the faecal indicator and the understanding of the environmental fate of the faecal pollutants, still need attention. The most promising MST methods available today are based on the genetic fingerprinting of faecal microorganisms. However, research is very active also in the investigation of pharmaceuticals and personal care products discharged in the environment together with faecal waste. An updated overview of MST methods to distinguish human from animal sources of faecal pollution is presented here, focusing particularly on the potentialities of new chemical tracers.
