Assessment of Shiga Toxin-Producing<i>Escherichia coli</i>Isolates from Wildlife Meat as Potential Pathogens for Humans
22 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
A total of 140 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains from wildlife meat (deer, wild boar, and hare) isolated in Germany between 1998 and 2006 were characterized with respect to their serotypes and virulence markers associated with human pathogenicity. The strains grouped into 38 serotypes, but eight O groups (21, 146, 128, 113, 22, 88, 6, and 91) and four H types (21, 28, 2, and 8) accounted for...
