Nonculturable Escherichia coli O157 in horticultural compost: a public health concern
2025-07-25
Abstract excerpt
Fresh produce-associated outbreaks of the foodborne pathogen Escherichia coli O157 are responsible for a number of disease cases, hospitalisations, and deaths. In many cases, the source of contamination can be linked to the growing media of the food, although pathogen detection is problematic in these complex soil ecosystems. In this study, direct qPCR without pre-enrichment was used to detect 310 copies of the tr...
