I guess I was surprised to see DIYbioers working with explicitly pathogenic organisms. You may well be in breach of federal regulations. Unless I'm missing something can I just politely suggest that this sort of activity will lead to the hammer getting dropped on 'citizen science'.
FWIW, this question appears to come from an agricultural context, where screening for contamination by e coli in food products is common practice and is in fact mandated in some circumstances (like beef apparently).
