ABSTRACT Cattle and other domestic ruminants are the primary reservoirs of O157 and non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). Living in areas with high ruminant density has been associated with excess risk of infection, which could be due to both direct ruminant contact and residual environmental risk, but the role of each is unclear.
