  • Title: The surveillance of vero cytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 in Wales, 1990 to 1998.
    Author: Chalmers RM, Parry SM, Salmon RL, Smith RM, Willshaw GA, Cheasty T.

    Abstract:
    Population-based surveillance for Vero cytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) O157 has been carried out in Wales since 1990. The annual incidence has remained stable during the 9-year period (mean: 1.6 cases per 100,000 population); the rate is highest in children younger than 5 years of age. Blood in the stool is reported in fewer than half the cases, indicating the importance of screening all fecal specimens for VTEC O157.
