Understanding the transmission dynamics of Escherichia coli O157:H7 super-shedding infections in feedlot cattle
Background The presence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) super-shedding cattle in feedlots has the potential to increase the overall number (bio-burden) of E. coli O157:H7 in the environment. It is important to identify factors to reduce the bio-burden of E. coli O157 in feedlots by cla...
