Abstract :
[en] Significance and Impact of the Study: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are important foodborne pathogens responsible for haemorrhagic colitis and haemolytic-uremic syndrome. Cattle are the major natural reservoir and excrete these bacteria in their faeces. This study investigated the occurrence and pathogenic potential of ‘gang of five’ STEC (O26, O103, O111, O145, O157) on Belgian dairy cattle farms and implemented a practical and animal-friendly sampling method aimed at promoting more widespread STEC surveillance in the bovine reservoir. Since these serogroups are most frequently implicated in human illness, more information on their presence in the bovine reservoir is required to develop efficient strategies aimed at reducing bovine carriage and the risk of human transmission.
