Escherichia coli O157:H7-adulterated food products are associated with disease outbreaks in humans. Although cattle feces are a source for E. coli O157:H7 contamination, it is unclear if human-associated outbreak isolates differentially colonize and shed in the feces of cattle from that of non-ou...
