In a prospective, unmatched case-control study of sporadic Shiga toxin (Vero cytotoxin)-producing Escherichia coli O157 (STEC O157) infection in England, exposure to the farming environment emerged strongly as a risk factor (adjusted odds ratio = 2.45; 95% confidence intervals = 1.49-4.02; p=0.0004) posing further challenges and opportunities for prevention.
在一项针对英格兰散发性产志贺毒素(Vero细胞毒素)的大肠杆菌O157(STEC O157)感染的前瞻性、非匹配病例对照研究中,接触农业环境成为一个显著的风险因素(调整后的优势比=2.45;95%置信区间=1.49-4.02;p=0.0004),这给预防工作带来了更多挑战和机遇。
