Summary

Boiled drinking water can pose a health risk if the water is accidentally contaminated by bacterial pathogens. In this study, the survival of E. coli O157:H7 and Campylobacter jejuni during storage at 22, 4 and -18°C for 5, 7 and 2 days was investigated. E. coli O157:H7 was able to survive at all 3 temperatures, whereas C. jejuni was undetectable in samples stored at -18°C.
