FIGURE 9.

Correlation between log₁₀ CFU/g and log₁₀ viable load of Salmonella. (A) Soil inoculated with Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) and incubated at 5°C. (B) Soil inoculated with SE and incubated at 25°C. (C) Soil inoculated with SE and incubated at 37°C. (D) Soil inoculated with Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) and incubated at 5°C. (E) Soil inoculated with ST and incubated at 25°C. (F) Soil inoculated with ST and incubated at 37°C. Blue lines represent log₁₀ viable load, while purple lines represent log₁₀ CFU per gram of soil.
