Abstract

Cattle hides at slaughter are an important source of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) carcass contamination. The objective of this study was to estimate the probability for hide contamination with EHEC-7 among US market beef cows at slaughter, as well as test the effects of season and geographic region.
