Food-Related Illness and Death in the United States
Paul S. Mead,Laurence Slutsker,Vance Dietz,Linda F. McCaig,Joseph S. Bresee,Craig N. Shapiro,Patricia M. Griffin,Robert V. Tauxe +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate that foodborne diseases cause approximately 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the United States each year, while unknown agents account for the remaining 62 million illnesses and 3,200 deaths.

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli: An overview
TL;DR: The objective of this review is to highlight the importance of cattle in human disease due to Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and to discuss features of STEC that are important inhuman disease.

Foodborne Pathogens in Milk and the Dairy Farm Environment: Food Safety and Public Health Implications
TL;DR: Information presented supports the model in which the presence of pathogens depends on ingestion of contaminated feed followed by amplification in bovine hosts and fecal dissemination in the farm environment, and isolation of bacterial pathogens with similar biotypes from dairy farms and from outbreaks of human disease substantiates this hypothesis.

Fresh fruit and vegetables as vehicles for the transmission of human pathogens
Cedric N. Berger,Samir V. Sodha,Robert K. Shaw,Patricia M. Griffin,David Pink,Paul Hand,Gad Frankel +6 more
TL;DR: A better understanding of plant, microbiological, environmental, processing and food handling factors that facilitate contamination will allow development of evidence-based policies, procedures and technologies aimed at reducing the risk of contamination of fresh produce.

Medical and economic impact of extraintestinal infections due to Escherichia coli: focus on an increasingly important endemic problem
Thomas A. Russo,James R. Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: Underappreciated features include the wide variety of extraintestinal infections E. coli can cause, the high incidence and associated morbidity, mortality, and costs of these diverse clinical syndromes, and increasing antimicrobial resistance.

DNA probes for Shiga-like toxins I and II and for toxin-converting bacteriophages.
J W Newland,R J Neill +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicated that the lower levels of toxin activity observed in shigellae other than S. dysenteriae 1 are due to a gene(s) that is genetically distinct from that which encodes Shiga toxin.
DNA probes for identification of enteroinvasive Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: Motile strains of serotype O144:H25 were for the first time characterized as invasive by hybridization with the probes, and, with the exception of certain serotypes, were nonmotile.
Interactions between enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and host epithelial cells
TL;DR: The pathogenesis of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) infection is emerging as a paradigm for a multistage microorganism-host cell interaction and bacteria-induced signal transduction activates the receptor that allows tenacious adherence of the bacteria to the host cell surface.
Molecular characterisation of Escherichia coli O157: H7 isolates by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and plasmid DNA analysis
TL;DR: PFGE was shown to be a useful typing technique for E. coli O157:H7 isolates from patients, food samples and calf faecal samples characterised by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and plasmid DNA analysis.
Purification and characterization of CS2, a sialic acid-specific haemagglutinin of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: Both fimbriae and fimbrial subunits were found to bind to bovine erythrocytes and could be inhibited with low concentrations of sialyl-lactose, since sialic acids were the most potent inhibitors.
