  1. Prevalence and molecular characterization of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in animal source foods and green leafy vegetables

    • Food Science and Technology International

    • Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) has emerged as important enteric foodborne zoonotic pathogens of considerable public health significance worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of the top seven STEC serotypes and to identify these serotypes in samples of animal source foods and vegetables. A total of 294 samples including 84 meat samples, 135 milk and dairy product samples and 75 green leafy vegetable samples were tested.
