Scope note: Serogrupo de la subfamilia O de Escherichia coli productor de verocitotoxina que produce una grave enfermedad de origen alimentario. Recientemente, una cepa de este serogrupo, el serotipo H7, que produce TOXINAS SHIGA, ha sido relacionada con brotes de enfermedad humana por contaminación con E. coli O157 de alimentos de origen bovino.

Scope note: A verocytotoxin-producing serogroup belonging to the O subfamily of Escherichia coli which has been shown to cause severe food-borne disease. A strain from this serogroup, serotype H7, which produces SHIGA TOXINS, has been linked to human disease outbreaks resulting from contamination of foods by E. coli O157 from bovine origin.
Annotation: infection: coordinate IM with ESCHERICHIA COLI INFECTIONS (IM); consider also HEMOLYTIC-UREMIC SYNDROME; in titles & translations use O157 (the letter O), not 0157 (the number zero)
