Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) of the O157:H7 serotype is a worldwide zoonotic pathogen responsible for the majority of severe cases of human EHEC disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of E. coli O157: H7/NM in raw meat samples from two provinces of Iran. During a period from March 2010 to March 2011. Two hundred and ninety five raw meat samples were...

This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of foodborne pathogens, Escherichia coli, E. coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes and Campylobacter spp. on slaughtered cattle in Isfahan, Iran. A total of 203 cattle carcasses were sampled by surface section of neck meat taken immediately after slaughter and analyzed using microbiological examinations. Suspected colonies to E. coli O157:H7...

This study was conducted to investigate the presence of Escherichia (E.) coli O157 and E. coli O157:H7 and stx1 and stx2 genes on cattle carcasses and in rectal samples collected from Samsun Province of Turkey. A total of 200 samples collected from cattle carcasses and the rectal contents of 100 slaughtered cattle from two commercial abattoirs were tested using the immunomagnetic separation tec...

Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli O157 and non-O157 serogroups are known to cause serious diseases in human. However, research on the persistence of E. coli non-O157 serogroups in preharvest environment is limited. In the current study, we compared the survival behavior of E. coli O157 to that of non-O157 E. coli strains in agricultural soils collected from three major fresh produce growin...

background and objectives: a diverse group of escherichia coli are known as enterohemorrhagic escherichia coli (ehec) including o157:h7 and non-o157 ehec. enterohemorrhagic strains are related to severe clinical conditions in humans including hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome, and most of the recorded outbreaks occurred due to o157: h7 e. coli . the aim of the present study was ...

OBJECTIVE To prepare monoclonal antibodies (MAb) and antisera specific for Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157, and to develop a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect E. coli O157 in foods. METHODS Spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with the somatic antigen of E. coli O157:H7 were fused with murine Sp2/0 myeloma cells. The hybridoma cell line specific for E. coli O157 ...
