    Snippet: The data from our study suggest that dromedary camels are a reservoir of human pathogenic STEC. While none of the fecal samples contained STEC O157:H7 or other non-O157 STEC serogroups frequently associated with severe clinical outcomes such as bloody diarrhoea, HC, or HUS, the majority of the isolates harboured stx2a, and the STEC O156:H25 isolates harboured eae, ehx, and other virulence factors often associated with disease in humans. Their occ.....
    Document: The data from our study suggest that dromedary camels are a reservoir of human pathogenic STEC. While none of the fecal samples contained STEC O157:H7 or other non-O157 STEC serogroups frequently associated with severe clinical outcomes such as bloody diarrhoea, HC, or HUS, the majority of the isolates harboured stx2a, and the STEC O156:H25 isolates harboured eae, ehx, and other virulence factors often associated with disease in humans. Their occurrence in fecal samples from camels may represent a threat to humans, especially to those who live in long-term close contact with camels and consume raw camel milk.
