The rapid emergence of pathogens has created a threat to the drinking water industry. Consequently, the microbiological quality of drinking water is of a major concern to consumers, water suppliers, regulators and public health authorities. As a result, better monitoring methods for waterborne pathogens are needed and those based on appropriate molecular technologies attract dramatically the attention. This review attempts to summarize the most recent progress and offers a comprehensive view of pathogens in water supply system that have been known and/or emerged recently, and the emerging molecular technologies developed to detect them.
