Our aim was to determine the influence of method of waste application to land on E. coli O157:H7 survival. Bovine slurry and ovine stomach contents containing E. coli O157:H7 were applied to the surface vegetation or sub-surface injected at 25cm below the soil surface. E. coli O157 survived but did not proliferate on grassland vegetation for up to 6 weeks and in the underlying soil for 8 weeks. Our results suggest that sub-surface injection of organic wastes into soil may reduce the risk of pathogen persistence in the environment. |
