Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a group responsible for great part of gastrointestinal diseases in humans and for the high calf mortality rate. It is often associated with certain serotypes and other virulence factors. Here we tested STEC strains from feces collected from cohabitants farm animals to determine if they were serving as reservoirs of pathogenicity.
