Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157: H7, is an enterohemorrhagic bacterial strain that is an important food and a waterborne pathogen that causes diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) in humans. Transmission is via the fecal-oral route after consumption of contaminated, undercooked liquids, foods, and by person-to-person through fecal shedding. The production of Shiga toxins is a key factor contributing to the development of a range of gastrointestinal illnesses, from watery diarrhea to hemorrhagic colitis and HUS. This activity outlines the evaluation and treatment of E.coli O157: H7 infection and highlights the role of the healthcare team in managing patients with this condition.
