Abstract
Abstract: Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli 0157:H7 is a zoonotic pathogen associated with diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Aim: The aim of this research was to carry out an assessment of the incidence of Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli 0157:H7 in sun dried tomatoes using PCR. Study Design: Cross sectional study.
