The objective of this review is to highlight the importance of cattle in human disease due to
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and to discuss features of STEC that are …

Escherichia coli O157: H7 and other Verocytotoxin-producing E. coli (VTEC) are zoonotic
pathogens associated with food and waterborne illness around the world. E. coli O157: H7 …

Escherichia coli O157 is an uncommon but serious cause of gastroenteritis. This bacterium
is noteworthy because a few, but significant, number of infected people develop the …

Cattle that excrete more Escherichia coli O157 than others are known as super-shedders.
Super-shedding has important consequences for the epidemiology of E. coli O157 in cattle …

Escherichia coli are commensal bacteria that can account for up to 1% of the bacterial
population of the gut. Ruminant animals are reservoirs of the pathogenic bacteria E. coli …

Identification of the relative importance of within-and between-host variability in
infectiousness and the impact of these heterogeneities on the transmission dynamics of …

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a group of pathogens which cause
gastrointestinal disease in humans and have been associated with numerous food-borne …

Abstract Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are food-borne pathogens that
cause hemorrhagic colitis and a serious sequela, the hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) …

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cause hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and
hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in humans. Outbreaks are linked to bovine food sources …

Developing precise species-specific in vitro models that closely resemble in vivo intestinal
tissues is essential for advancing our understanding of gastrointestinal physiology and …
