Survival of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli exposed to adverse conditions.
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) was exposed to different adverse conditions for varying period of time to assess its survival under such circumstances. From the results it is extrapolated that EPEC survive for a very long time when shielded from sunlight and after several hours of exposure to UV irradiation.
