Özet
Verotoxin producing Escherichia coli(VTEC) a major cause of food-born diarrhea outbreaks. E.coli O157H7 is the most common VTEC serotype. Its prevalence is not well known in Turkey. To date, VTEC has not been isolated from stool samples of Turkish patients with diarrhea living in Turkey; only E.coli O157H7 was determined in a few animal and environmental samples from our country. In consequence of few studies from Turkey have been evaluated, about this pathogen. We investigated VTEC in 940 samples and E. coli O157:H7 in 104 samples from diarrheic patients. E. coli were negative in all samples. To date, VTEC has not been isolated from stool samples of Turkish patients with diarrhea living in Turkey. This may be due to dietary habits of Turkish people or to the limited number of studies on this subject in Turkey.
