The involvement of the pathogenic Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC; also called verocytotoxic-producing E. coli or VTEC) in sporadic cases and disease outbreaks is presently increasing. Infrequent cases are due to ingestion of milk and dairy products. As ruminants are healthy carriers of STEC and most dairy products may provide these bacteria with favourable conditions for their growth, milk and dairy products are a potential source of STEC. But not all STEC serotypes are pathogens; only relatively small numbers in the entire family of STEC are pathogenic. This review focuses on the recent advances in understanding of STEC and their significance in milk and dairy products. It is intended to gather the information that is needed to understand how these bacteria are described, detected and characterised, how they contaminate milk and grow in dairy products, and how the dairy industry can prevent them from affecting the consumer.
产志贺毒素的致病性大肠杆菌（STEC；也称为产志贺毒素大肠杆菌或 VTEC）在散发病例和疾病暴发中的参与度目前正在增加。偶尔有因摄入牛奶和奶制品而引起的病例。由于反刍动物是 STEC 的健康携带者，并且大多数奶制品可能为这些细菌的生长提供有利条件，因此牛奶和奶制品是 STEC 的潜在来源。但并非所有 STEC 血清型都是病原体；STEC 整个家族中只有相对较少的数量是病原体。本综述重点介绍了对 STEC 的理解的最新进展，以及它们在牛奶和奶制品中的意义。其目的是收集必要的信息，以了解如何描述、检测和表征这些细菌，它们如何污染牛奶并在奶制品中生长，以及乳制品行业如何防止它们影响消费者。
