Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains can colonize cattle for several months
and may, thus, serve as gene reservoirs for the genesis of highly virulent zoonotic …

The objective of this study was to assess the genetic diversity of non‐O157 Shiga toxin‐
producing Escherichia coli (STEC) isolates from cattle. Multi‐locus sequence typing (MLST) …

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains are commensal bacteria in cattle with
high potential for environmental and zoonotic transmission to humans. Although O157: H7 is …

Cattle harbor Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in their intestinal tract, thereby
providing these microorganisms with an ecological niche, but without this colonization …

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a leading cause of foodborne infections.
Cattle are an important STEC reservoir, although little is known about specific pathogen …

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains possessing genes for
enterohemolysin (ehxA) and/or intimin (eae), referred to here as complex STEC (cSTEC) …

A total of 136 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) isolated during a longitudinal
survey of three Australian dairy farms were examined to determine their virulence factors …

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections are a critical public health concern
because they can cause severe clinical outcomes, such as hemolytic uremic syndrome, in …

Grazing-fed cattle were previously demonstrated to be reservoir of non-O157 Shigatoxigenic
Escherichia coli (STEC) serotypes in Argentina. The acid-resistance of some STEC strains …

Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a food-borne pathogen that causes human
gastrointestinal infections across the globe, leading to kidney failure or even death in severe …
