An Outbreak of Food Poisoning in Adults Associated with Escherichia coli serotype 86:B₇:H₃₄

Phage adsorption on Enteropathogenic and Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli strains: Influence of physicochemical and physiological factors

“…Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, including STEC strains, are human pathogens that can cause diarrhea as well as hemorrhagic enterocolitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in humans (Griffin, Mead, & Sivapalasingam, 2002;Yoon & Hovde, 2008). Also, EPEC strains are responsible for human outbreaks worldwide (Costin, Voiculescu, & Gorcea, 1964;Varela et al, 2007;Viljanen et al, 1990), thus both foodborne pathogens, STEC and EPEC, represent a serious health threat.…”

Examination of Market Foods for Coliform Organisms

“…The importance of the presence of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EEC) in foods has rarely been considered in this country, except when all environmental factors are being studied in outbreaks of infantile diarrhea. In the literature from Europe and Japan, however, incidents of foodborne disease caused by EEC are frequently reported (3,18).…”
