  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Accurately comparing filtration methods is indeed difficult. Our method (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a id="xref-ref-1-1" class="xref-bibr" href="http://aem.asm.org/content/79/17/5420#ref-1" data-mce-href="http://aem.asm.org/content/79/17/5420#ref-1"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;) and the method described by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://aem.asm.org/lookup/doi/10.1128/AEM.01430-13" data-mce-href="http://aem.asm.org/lookup/doi/10.1128/AEM.01430-13"&gt;Borchardt et al.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; for determining recoveries are both acceptable approaches; however, each is designed to achieve a different research goal. Our study was designed to compare recoveries of multiple microorganisms in surface-water samples. Because, in practice, water-matrix effects come into play throughout filtration, concentration, and detection processes, we felt it important to incorporate those effects into the recovery results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
