One Health-One City; the extent of Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli in Cape Town

The estimated global burden of STEC (Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli) is 2,481,511 illnesses, 269 deaths, and 26,827 DALYs with 48% of these being foodborne. This thesis provides information on STEC diagnostic strategy, undetected STEC in a tertiary referral hospital in Cape Town, and the vir...
