| description | Foodborne infections pose a substantial global threat, causing an estimated 600 million illnesses and resulting in approximately 420,000 deaths annually. Among the diverse array of pathogens implicated in these infections, <i>Escherichia coli (E. coli</i>), specifically the O157 strain (<i>E. coli</i> O157), emerges as a prominent pathogen associated with severe outbreaks. This study employs a comprehensive bibliometric analysis and scholarly review focused on <i>E. coli</i> O157 research. The bibliometric analysis highlights the significant role played by the United States in the <i>E. coli</i> O157 research domain. Further exploration underscores the noteworthy contributions of the researcher Doyle MP, whose body of work, consisting of 84 documents and an impressive H-Index of 49, reflects their substantial impact in the field. Recent research trends indicate a discernible shift towards innovative detection methods, exemplified by the adoption of CRISPR-CAS and Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification. Moreover, high-throughput whole-genome sequencing techniques are gaining prominence for the expeditious analysis of pathogenic <i>E. coli</i> strains. Scientists are increasingly exploring antimicrobial agents, including phage therapy, to address the challenges posed by antibiotic-resistant <i>E. coli</i> strains, thereby addressing critical concerns related to multi-drug resistance. This comprehensive analysis provides vital insights into the dynamic landscape of <i>E. coli</i> O157 research. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and healthcare professionals dedicated to mitigating <i>E. coli</i> O157 outbreaks and advancing global public health strategies. |
