Abstract excerpt
The variation in manure-amended soil survival capability among 18 Escherichia coli O157 strains (8 animal, 1 food, and 9 human isolates) was studied using a single sandy soil sample and a single sample of cattle manure as the inoculum carrier. The virulence profiles of E. coli O157 strains were characterized by detection of virulence determinants (73 genes, 122 probes in duplicate) by using the Identibac E. coli...
