Summary

Survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in ground Golden delicious, Red Delicious, Rome, and Winesap apples stored at 4, 10 and 25 °C was determined. E. coli O157:H7 populations were monitored for up to 18 days (4 °C) and 5 days (25 °C), when mold contamination became visible. Results of this investigation indicate that there is no trend toward a particular apple cultivar supporting survival of E. coli O157:H7. However, variation in apple pH during storage can negatively or positively influence E. coli O157:H7 survival at 25 °C.
