Research Progress in Sources and Distribution of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Agricultural Products

doi:10.7506/spkx1002-6630-201401057

Abstract

Abstract:

Foodborne diseases happened frequently due to food contamination from Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7)
in recent years. Agricultural products may be infected with E. coli O157:H7 during the growth period. Therefore, understanding
the sources and distribution of E. coli O157:H7 in agricultural products is beneficial for preventing the infection of products. In this
paper, possible sources and general distribution of E. coli O157:H7 in agricultural products are reviewed.

Key words: agricultural products, Escherichia coli O157:H7, source, distribution

CLC Number:

TS201.3
