Release of sediment-bound fecal coliforms by dredging

D J Grimes. Appl Microbiol. 1975 Jan.

Abstract

Fecal coliform concentrations increased significantly (F test) in the immediate vicinity of a maintenance dredging operation in the Mississippi River navigation channel. Increased counts were attributed to the disturbance and relocation of bottom sediments by dredging and a concomitant release of sediment-bound fecal coliforms.
