Abstract: Escherichia coli producing Shiga toxins (Stx) and the attaching-effacing (AE) lesion (AE-STEC) are responsible for (bloody) diarrhoea in humans and calves while the enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) producing the AE lesion only cause non-bloody diarrhoea… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.02907-20
Abstract: Cattle are asymptomatic carriers of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) that can cause serious illness or death in humans. In New Zealand, contact with cattle feces and living near cattle populations are known risk factors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0257168
Abstract: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) have been linked to food-borne disease outbreaks. As PCR is routinely used to screen foods for STEC, it is important that factors leading to inconsistent detection of STEC by PCR… read more here.

DOI: 10.3201/eid2412.180404
Abstract: Among Shiga toxin (Stx)–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 strains, those producing Stx2a cause more severe diseases. Atypical STEC O157:H7 strains showing a β-glucuronidase–positive phenotype (GP STEC O157:H7) have rarely been isolated from humans, mostly from… read more here.
