  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Bacteroidales</jats:italic> species were detected in (tap) water samples from treatment plants with three different PCR assays. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the sequences had an environmental rather than fecal origin. We conclude that assays for <jats:italic>Bacteroidales</jats:italic> 16S rRNA genes are not specific enough to discern fecal contamination of drinking water in the Netherlands. </jats:p>
