E. coli O157:H7: Link with water troughs

Water troughs on farms are a conduit for the spread of toxic E. coli in cattle. This is according to new research from US researchers. The results of this study were published in the journal PLOS One. Escherichia coli O157:H7 is the predominant serotype representing the Shiga-toxin producing E. coli group associated with human disease. A considerably large body of research efforts have been directed towards reducing faecal shedding of E. coli O157:H7 in cattle over recent years. In this stud
