Dynamics of Physiological Changes of Shiga Toxin-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157:H7 on Romaine Lettuce During Pre-Processing Cold Storage, and Subsequent Effects on Virulence and Stress Tolerance

Dynamics of Physiological Changes of Shiga Toxin-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157:H7 on Romaine Lettuce During Pre-Processing Cold Storage, and Subsequent Effects on Virulence and Stress Tolerance

If lettuce is contaminated in the field, Shiga toxin-producing <i>E. coli</i> (STEC) O157:H7 can survive through the distribution chain. Prolonged cold storage during transportation may impact pathogen physiology, affecting subsequent stress survival and virulence. Greenhouse-grown Romai...
