Abstract
⺠593 foodborne STEC strains were analyzed for serotypes and for nine virulence genes. ⺠We found significant similarities between the animal origin of food and virulence markers of STEC. ⺠Characteristics of STEC from food resembled those of faecal STEC from the same animal species. ⺠The food producing animal was identified as most important source for entry of STEC in the food chain. ⺠Hygiene in milking and slaughtering is most critical for entry of STEC in the food chain.
