Entero pathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are food-borne pathogens of public health concern. EPEC causes infantile watery diarrhoea and is more prevalent in developing countries than in the industrialized country. STEC, conversely are responsible for both outbreaks and sporadic cases of human diseases, ranging from mild diarrhea to hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) leading to kidney failure and death. Various transmission routes of EPEC and STEC have been identified, such as contaminated food and water, animal contact, person to person contact etc. Animals, such as cattle, wildlife species and swine are recorded as important reservoirs.
