A member asked:

How long can e.coli the bacteria live on a surface?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

It depends on...: Well, if is a dry surface, then not very long...But if is wet/damp etc..It can survive and multiply as long as there is water/food. Thus, it is best to wash your counter tops with soap/disinfectants and keep it dry... Stay healthy.. Good luck.
