“…Water flow rate, as governed by the rainfall intensity, affects the rate and extent of microbial translocation, with faster flow rates increasing bacterial movement (14,38,48). Higher concentrations of total coliforms, fecal coliforms, and fecal streptococci were found in drainage waters from fields after manure application following periods of heavy rainfall (31). Similar results have been reported for E. coli (50,51).…”

“…In the present study, a significant association between M. paratuberculosis recovery from leachates and sandy soil was shown; 9 of 13 M. paratuberculosis recoveries were from sandy soil lysimeters, which is consistent with what has been described for M. paratuberculosis under laboratory conditions (6). These results are not surprising, since it has been shown that greater microbial movement occurs in coarser soils with large pore spaces than in finer-textured soils, where pore sizes are significantly smaller (3,13,31). A study (15) showed that filtration significantly contributes to bacterial removal from leachates, where the average bacterial cell size was greater than the size of at least 5% of the particles.…”

“…Organic matter and clay particles have the greatest effects on movement as a result of microbial absorption to negatively charged surfaces (26). It also has been shown that faster microbial movement occurs in coarse soil with large pore spaces than in finer-textured soils, where pore sizes are significantly smaller (3,13,31). The microbes' own surface properties also influence percolation through or attachment to soil particles (22), where the electrostatic forces of cell surface charge and hydrophobicity allow reversible attachment to soil particles (9).…”

Details regarding the fate of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (basonym, Mycobacterium paratuberculosis) after manure application on grassland are unknown. To evaluate this, intact soil columns were collected in plastic pipes (lysimeters) and placed under controlled conditions to test the effect of a loamy or sandy soil composition and the amount of rainfall on the fate of M. paratuberculosis applied to the soil surface with manure slurry. The experiment was organized as a randomized design with two factors and three replicates. M. paratuberculosis-contaminated manure was spread on the top of the 90-cm soil columns. After weekly simulated rainfall applications, water drainage samples (leachates) were collected from the base of each lysimeter and cultured for M. paratuberculosis using Bactec MGIT ParaTB medium and supplements. Grass was harvested, quantified, and tested from each lysimeter soil surface. The identity of all probable M. paratuberculosis isolates was confirmed by PCR for IS900 and F57 genetic elements. There was a lag time of 2 months after each treatment before M. paratuberculosis was found in leachates. The greatest proportions of M. paratuberculosis-positive leachates were from sandy-soil lysimeters in the manure-treated group receiving the equivalent of 1,000 mm annual rainfall. Under the higher rainfall regimen (2,000 mm/year), M. paratuberculosis was detected more often from lysimeters with loamy soil than sandy soil. Among all lysimeters, M. paratuberculosis was detected more often in grass clippings than in lysimeter leachates. At the end of the trial, lysimeters were disassembled and soil cultured at different depths, and we found that M. paratuberculosis was recovered only from the uppermost levels of the soil columns in the treated group. Factors associated with M. paratuberculosis presence in leachates were soil type and soil pH (P < 0.05). For M. paratuberculosis presence in grass clippings, only manure application showed a significant association (P < 0.05). From these findings we conclude that this pathogen tends to move slowly through soils (faster through sandy soil) and tends to remain on grass and in the upper layers of pasture soil, representing a clear infection hazard for grazing livestock and a potential for the contamination of runoff after heavy rains.

“…The detection and loading of fecal coliforms, E. coli, and Salmonella can occur when runoff from agricultural land immediately or following land application of livestock wastes such as manures, slurries (liquid mix of excreta and urine) from household livestock, and excrement deposited by grazing animals (Oliver et al 2005;Aitkin 2003;Patni et al 1984) reaches surface waters. The presence of bacterial indicators in surface waters is indicative of bacterial contaminations.…”

Environmental problems many times could evolve when manure-containing pathogens are distributed into an open environment with no effort made to reduce the content of pathogens or limit their movement in the environment. Wind, surface flow, and subsurface flow can all carry enough pathogens to receiving waters to exceed water quality standards. This study was conducted to assess the microbiological quality of water associated with animal-based agriculture in the sub-basin of Pinhal River located in the rural area of Concordia, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Six sampling points representing different agricultural land uses (LU1-dairy cattle; LU2-without animals; LU3-dairy + pigs + poultry + crops; LU4-pigs + poultry + crops; LU5-dairy + pigs + poultry + crops + human; and LU6-dairy+pigs+crops) along the Pinhal River sub-basin (north to south) were sampled biweekly from August 2006 to December 2008. Concentrations of fecal coliforms and Escherichia coli varied significantly (p≤0.05) with land use (LU), but there was no interaction effect of LU, season, and time. Water samples from the catchment area of LU1 had the highest concentration of fecal coliforms (4,479±597 CFU ml −1 ) when compared with other catchment areas. Catchment area associated with LU2 (no animal) had the lowest concentrations of fecal coliforms (39.2±5.2 CFU ml −1 ). With the exception of LU2 (control site), all the maximum concentrations of E. coli exceeded the single maximum allowable concentration for E. coli (100 CFU ml −1 ). When LU1 was compared with other catchment areas (LU3, 50%; LU4, 67%; LU5, 58%; and LU6, 44%), it had the lowest counts (39%) of Salmonella sp. Our results suggest that spatial pattern of bacterial water quality is evident, which can be linked to the different land uses and associated practices (present or absent of animal activities). Therefore, varying responses associated with the different land uses would be critical in identifying the importance of different sources of bacteria in the catchment area and the mechanisms transferring them.

“…Livestock infected with zoonotic organisms can excrete pathogens in their feces and as a result, animal waste has been implicated as a source of infection in some human food-borne illness (Bach et al 2002) and water-related illness. Animal manure application to agricultural lands is a major source of pathogenic microorganisms in surface and ground water systems (Reddy et al 1981;Goss et al 1998;Jamieson et al 2002;Bach et al 2002;Joy et al 1998;Patni et al 1984). Fecal pathogens can contaminate potable water via soil.…”
