To better understand the persistence dynamics of enteropathogenic bacteria in freshwater wetland habitats, we constructed lab‐scale mesocosms planted with two different wetland plant species using a subsurface flow wetland design. Mesocosms were treated with either a high‐quality or a poor‐quality water source to examine the effects of water quality exposure and plant species on Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Enterococcus spp. in the rhizoplane, rhizosphere and water of wetland habitats.
