TL;DR: Physicians need to know whether laboratories in their area routinely test for E. coli O157 in stool specimens, and whether treatment with antimicrobial agents remains controversial: some studies suggest that treatment may precipitate haemolytic uraemic syndrome, and others suggest no effect or even a protective effect.

TL;DR: In this paper, the prevalence and pattern of antimicrobial resistance of E. coli O157:H7 in lettuce in markets in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia was investigated. But the results of this study demonstrate the presence of drug-resistant E.cola O157-H7.
Bacterial contamination in Saeng-go-gi, a ready-to-eat fresh raw beef dish sold in restaurants in South Korea.
TL;DR: The bacterial contamination levels in ready-to-eat fresh raw beef, Saeng-go-gi in Korean, sold in restaurants could be used to design better food handling practices for reducing foodborne illnesses linked to fresh raw Beef consumption.

The key lethal effect existed in the antibacterial behavior of short, medium, and long chain fatty acid monoglycerides on Escherichia coli
TL;DR: The results presented in UV-Vis spectroscopy, cell cycle and biomacromolecules synthesis inhibition assay showed that the cell cycle of Escherichia coli was obviously affected by three monoglycerides at doses near MIC, which was therefore regarded as the key lethal effect.
Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 in coastal environment of Alexandria, Egypt
TL;DR: A general trend, a positive correlation between TC counts and the presence of the pathogen was observed and numbers of TC and the incidence of the bacterium were relatively high during the warmest months.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated two outbreaks of an unusual gastrointestinal illness that affected at least 47 people in Oregon and Michigan in February through March and May through June 1982, which was characterized by severe crampy abdominal pain, initially watery diarrhea followed by grossly bloody diarrhea, and little or no fever.

The Association Between Idiopathic Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome and Infection by Verotoxin-Producing Escherichia coli
TL;DR: A significant association exists between idiopathic HUS and infection by VTEC and the detection of free-fecal VT was the most important procedure for the early diagnosis of this infection.

Sporadic cases of haemolytic-uraemic syndrome associated with faecal cytotoxin and cytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli in stools.
TL;DR: Eleven of 15 sporadic cases of haemolytic uraemic syndrome cases had evidence of infection by VT+ E. coli, suggesting that there was an association between these organisms and these cases of HUS.
