Survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in various soil particles: importance of the attached bacterial phenotype
2017-02-01
Abstract excerpt
The risk of enteropathogens to food and water is highly dependent on their survival in soil environments. Here, the effects of soil type, particle size, the presence of natural organic matter (NOM) or Fe/Al (hydro)oxides on pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 survival in sterilized soil particles were assessed through survival, attachment, metabolic activity, and qRT-PCR analyses. The abundance of inoculated E. co...
