Across the water sector, Escherichia coli is the preferred microbial water quality indicator
and current guidance upholds that it indicates recent faecal contamination. This has been …

Previous studies examining the clonal diversity of E scherichia coli populations within
humans have been based on faecal isolates. In this study E. coli were isolated from biopsies …

Simple Summary The human gastrointestinal tract harbors a complex and dynamic
population of microorganisms (mostly bacteria and viruses) that are called the gut …

Enteric pathogens, including Salmonella, are capable of long-term survival after desiccation
and resist heat treatments that are lethal to hydrated cells. The mechanisms of dry-heat …

Social structure is proposed to influence the transmission of both directly and
environmentally transmitted infectious agents. However in natural populations, many other …

Although E. coli is primarily a commensal of mammals, and to a lesser extent birds, it can be
isolated from a variety of host species as well as soil, sediments, and water. It has long been …
