Call for Data for Monitoring Programs for Shiga Toxin-producing E.Coli (STEC)

Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) are an important cause of foodborne disease. Infections have been associated with a wide range of symptoms from mild intestinal discomfort to haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and death. In its report on the global burden of foodborne disease, WHO estimated that foodborne STEC caused more than 1 million illnesses, 128 deaths, and nearly 13,000 DALYs in 2010.
