Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a common pathogen in developing countries, and causes foodborne infections through contaminated vegetables and water. ETEC also caused some foodborne infections in developed countries, though the vehicles are often unclear. We analyzed ETEC foodborne outbreaks in Japan based on the National Food Poisoning Statistics. Vegetables and private well water accounted for 50% and 22.2% of vehicles, respectively. The main vehicles were similar to those in developing countries. Serogroups of ETEC were also analyzed, and O6, O25, O27, O148, O153, O159, and O169 were the seven major O-serogroups. We investigated suitable detection methods for the pathogen (O148) in food samples associated with an outbreak of ETEC in Japan in 2011. We show that ETEC O148 could be effectively detected in cut leeks by means of a two-step enrichment and real-time PCR assay targeting heat-stable enterotoxin gene. Our survey of the vehicles and the major O-serogroups of ETEC outbreaks in Japan indicates that ETEC survives in the environment in Japan.
