TL;DR: Investigation of involvement of feral swine in contamination of agricultural fields and surface waterways with Escherichia coli O157:H7 after a nationwide outbreak traced to bagged spinach from California found isolates from feral Swine, cattle, surface water, sediment, and soil were matched to the outbreak strain.

TL;DR: In a preliminary study, EcO157 was detected in water at multiple locations in a low-flow creek only within 135 meters of a point source, however, possible transport up to 32 km was detected during periods of higher water flow associated with flooding.
Colonization of Arabidopsis thaliana with Salmonella enterica and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 and competition by Enterobacter asburiae
TL;DR: Root inoculation led to contamination of the entire plant, indicating that the pathogens are capable of moving on or within the plant in the absence of competition, and Seed contamination by these pathogens was undetectable in the presence of the competitor, Enterobacter asburiae.

TL;DR: Several strains were isolated from water, wildlife, or soil over a period of several months, suggesting that they were persistent in this environment, including S. enterica serotypes Give, Typhimurium, Montevideo, and Infantis.
