New research was conducted studying the transport behavior of different strains of E. coli in an attempt to understand their movement through water supplies. Commonly only a single strain of E. coli is used in these studies, but with research showing that a significant amount of genetic variability exists among various strains, a more detailed study was necessary to advance the early detection of contamination of groundwater environments.
