Introduction Ruminants are regarded as the natural reservoir for Shiga toxin‐producing
Escherichia coli (STEC), especially of serogroup O157. Materials and methods During 2011 …

The ecology of shiga‐toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) is important in the animal production

Aims: To investigate if cattle on the same farm as sheep are a possible risk factor for stx in
sheep and to determine whether or not sheep and cattle on the same farm share the same …

AIMS: To serotype a subset of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) isolates from

The occurrence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) was studied on four cattle
farms. STEC were detected in 29–82% of the cattle. STEC with additional EHEC markers …

Over a 12 month period, 588 cattle faecal samples and 147 farm environmental samples
