Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on detecting Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli O157:H7 in diarrheic camels in Tunisia, collecting 120 fecal samples between January 2018 and April 2019.
- - Out of 70 E. coli isolates, 4 (5.7%) were identified as STEC O157:H7, with key genes for virulence and antibiotic sensitivity tests revealing their resistance patterns.
- - This research marks the first finding of E. coli O157:H7 in camels in Tunisia, emphasizing the need for regular screening programs in food-producing animals to manage foodborne pathogens effectively.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 236 E. coli isolates were tested, revealing that 4.2% were positive for the O157:H7 strain, and many isolates exhibited various virulence factors associated with this pathogen.
- * The findings indicate that E. coli O157:H7 is present in healthy cattle, suggesting a potential risk for food-borne diseases in humans, highlighting the importance of monitoring this pathogen in the food supply.

Background: Enterohemorrhagic (O157:H7) is the primary cause of bloody diarrhea or hemorrhagic colitis. The study was carried out with to determine the epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance pattern of O157:H7 along the dairy supply chains in Akaki Kaliti sub-city of Addis Ababa, Bishoftu and Sululta towns of central Ethiopia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design with random sampling methods was employed.

such as O157:H7, a non-sorbitol-fermenting (NSF) , is an essential human pathogen among other common zoonotic pathogens carried by animals especially cattle. They are discharged through cattle faeces into the environment. With the increasing practice of urban farming, livestock manure is used as organic fertiliser in either fish ponds or vegetable gardens.
