Variability in Characterizing Escherichia coli from Cattle Feces: A Cautionary Tale
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are diverse bacteria, with seven serogroups (O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, O145, O157; “Top 7”) of interest due to their predominance in human disease. Confirmation of STEC relies on a combination of culturing, immunological and molecul...
