Clonal dissemination of Escherichia coli O157:H7 subtypes among dairy farms in Northeast Ohio

Article Abstract:

Molecular characterization is performed on Escherichia coli O157:H7 isolates recovered during a longitudinal study of 20 dairy farms in northeast Ohio. Within the study population, Escherichia coli O157:H7 REDP subtypes are disseminated with considerable frequency among farms in close geographic proximity, and nonbovine sources may contribute to the transmission of this organism between farms.

Growth of Escherichia coli in model distribution system biofilms exposed to hypochlorous acid or monochloramine

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on Escherichia coli. The authors have investigated the growth and survival capabilities of this bacterium within the biofilms after chlorine disinfectant exposure via the use of whole-cell in situ hybridization on biofilm sections produced by model distribution systems, and they report the results.

Detection of Escherichia coli in biofilms from pipe samples and coupons in drinking water distribution networks

Article Abstract:

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is used for detecting Escherichia coli on pipe surfaces and coupons in drinking water distribution networks. The studies have shown that Escherichia coli are found in the biofilms of drinking water networks in Europe.
