Abstract Background Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are emerging
foodborne pathogens that are public health concern. Cattle have been identified as the …

Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a zoonotic pathotype associated with
human gastrointestinal disease that may progress to severe complications. Ruminants …

The aim of this study was to investigate the virulence potential of the isolated bovine STEC
for humans in Iran. In this study a collection of STEC strains (n= 50) had been provided via …

Escherichia coli carrying prophage with genes that encode for Shiga toxins are categorized

illnesses in humans ranging from mild to hemorrhagic enteritis with complications of …

Shiga toxin (Stx)–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and its subgroup enterohemorrhagic E.
coli are important pathogens involved in diarrhea, which may be complicated by …

In this study, fecal samples were collected from a closed beef herd in Alberta, Canada from
2012 to 2015. To limit serotype bias, which was observed in enrichment broth cultures …
