The engineering of a home-made portable double-layer filtration and concentration device
with the common syringe for rapid analysis of water samples is reported. The core elements …

In this review, we highlight recent work that has increased our understanding of the
production and distribution of Shiga toxin in the environment. Specifically, we review studies …

Ten bacteriophages were isolated from faeces and their lytic effects assayed on 103
pathogenic and non-pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae. Two phages (DT1 and DT6) were …

Argentina has the highest incidence of HUS in the world. HUS is produced by STEC O157
and non-O157. Cattle's faeces and hides are sources of STEC contamination of carcasses …
