Prevalence of heat resistant bacteria in beef poses a potential problem as thermal interventions are routinely used in beef processing to control contamination. Despite extreme heat resistant (XHR) E. coli having been isolated from a ground beef processing plant, there has not been a study to assess the prevalence of XHR E. coli amongst cattle. Therefore, this study utilized a screening assay for XHR gram negative bacteria and its molecular determinant, the Locus of Heat Resistance (LHR), on feces collected from United States (US) cattle. Fecal samples were
