Persistence of Escherichia Coli O157:H7 on Plant Roots Grown Under Water and Salinity Stress Regimes in the Field and Growth Chamber

Objective

Investigate the population dynamics of Escherichia coli O157:H7 on plant roots grown under various water/ salinity regimes in the field and growth chamber; 2) investigate persistence of E. coli O157:H7 in soil, irrigation water, and rhizosphere; 3) develop predictive models for E. coli O157:H7 persistence/survival in soil and on plants grown under field conditions under different environmental conditions.
