VEROCYTOTOXIGENIC E. COLZ - LEGAL ASPECTS; APPENDIX; INDEXVerocytotxin producing Escherichia coli (VTEC), and in particular, strains of serogroup o157, have emerged as significant pathogens causing a range of severe and potentially fatal illnesses. The European Union has recognised the threat posed by E. coli O157:H7 and the need to devise control strategies based on an understanding of VTEC pathogenicity, transmission, survival and growth. It also acknowledges the imortance of informing farmers, veterinarians, food producers and health authorities so that each of these groups can act appropriately to reduce the overall hazards posed by these Escherichia coli infectionsEscherichia coli O157:H7Escherichia coli infections.Escherichia coli O157:H7.616.9616.926Duffy Geraldine896369Garvey Patricia896370McDowell David A896371MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996197278303316Verocytotoxigenic E. coli2002555UNISA
