Escherichia coli Ingested via Food May Overshadow the Positive Effects of Clean Drinking Water: An Example from Dhaka.

The minimal health impact observed in large-scale water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) intervention studies motivated us to investigate the contribution of contaminated food and drinking water to the total daily Escherichia coli load ingested by the average adult in a low-income, urban area. Leftover food (food left at room temperature for more than 6 hours) from 32 households was collected eight times at 6-week intervals in 2014-2015 in the low-income area of Arichpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh. In total, 117 samples were obtained from four food types: fish, lentils, rice, and vegetables, which compri…
