Persistence of Escherichia coli O157:H12 and Escherichia coli K12 as Non-pathogenic Surrogates for O157:H7 on Lettuce Cultivars Irrigated With Secondary-Treated Wastewater and Roof-Collected Rain Water in the Field

Persistence of Escherichia coli O157:H12 and Escherichia coli K12 as Non-pathogenic Surrogates for O157:H7 on Lettuce Cultivars Irrigated With Secondary-Treated Wastewater and Roof-Collected Rain Water in the Field

Treated wastewater (TW) and roof-collected rain water (RW) that meet the required microbial quality as per Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) regulation may serve as alternative irrigation water sources to decrease the pressure on the current water scarcity. Alternative water sources may have diff...
