Shiga Toxin–Producing E. Coli Infections Associated With Flour [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2017
In 2016, a multijurisdictional team investigated an outbreak of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serogroup O121 and O26 infections linked to contaminated flour from a large domestic producer.A case was defined as infection with an outbreak strain in which illness onset was between December 21, 2015, and September 5, 2016.

Comparison of Two Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) Isolation Protocols in Raw Cow’s Milk Cheese Enrichment Broths: Direct STEC Isolation Versus Techniques Based on Immuno-concentration

Journal of Food Protection, 2023
The presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in dairy products made with raw milk is a major concern for food safety authorities and industries. Two approaches have been proposed to isolate STEC from food.

Surface proteins of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli mediate association with milk fat globules in raw milk

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionBy adhering to host cells and colonizing tissues, bacterial pathogens can successfully establish infection. Adhesion is considered the first step of the infection process and bacterial adhesion to anti-adhesive compounds is now seen as a ...
