Scientists from a university in Singapore have found strains of foodborne E. coli have different tolerances towards acidic conditions.
E. coli O157:H7 is widely recognized due to the severity of illnesses it causes. There are another six serogroups identified by the United States Food and Drug Administration as emerging pathogens commonly found in foodborne disease outbreaks. E. coli O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145 are known as the “big six.”
