Effect of severe weather events on the shedding of Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli in slaughter cattle and phenotype of serogroup O157 isolates
9 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
High-event periods (HEPs) occur sporadically when beef carcasses and meat have episodes of acute contamination with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). In this study, severe weather events were investigated as catalysts for HEPs based on PCR and isolate prevalence of seven E. coli serogroups in slaughter cattle feces. Winter ambient temperatures with daily means 10.5oC warmer or 12.3°C colder than...
