Foodborne diseases are characterized by conditions that can induce symptomatic illnesses in their carriers, and therefore represent a serious problem. They are important conditions from a clinical and epidemiological point of view, and are associated with the occurrence of serious public health problems, with a strong impact on morbidity and mortality. The Escherichia coli (E. coli) is an enterobacterium associated with enteric conditions of variable intensity and which are accompanied by blood. The transmission routes are mainly based on the consumption of contaminated food and water sources. Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) are considered a serogroup of E. coli, are capable of producing Shiga-type toxins (Stx 1 and Stx 2) and the O157:H7 strain is one of the best-known serotypes. The early detection of this pathogen is very important, especially due to the capacity of contamination of carcasses destined for food consumption and supply of productive markets. Sanitary protocols must be developed and constantly reviewed in order to prevent/control the presence of the pathogen.
食源性疾病的特点是能够在其携带者中引起症状性疾病，因此是一个严重的问题。从临床和流行病学的角度来看，它们是重要的条件，与严重的公共卫生问题的发生有关，对发病率和死亡率有很大的影响。大肠杆菌（E. coli）是一种肠杆菌，与不同程度的肠道疾病有关，并且伴有血液。传播途径主要基于食用受污染的食物和水源。产志贺毒素大肠杆菌（STEC）被认为是大肠杆菌的一个血清群，能够产生志贺样毒素（Stx1 和 Stx2），O157：H7 菌株是最著名的血清型之一。早期检测这种病原体非常重要，特别是由于污染的能力，这些病原体是针对食品消费和供应生产市场的。必须制定和不断审查卫生协议，以防止/控制病原体的存在。
