Attachment of Shiga Toxin-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> (STEC) to Pre-Chill and Post-Chill Beef Brisket Tissue

Shiga toxin-producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> (STEC) has caused numerous foodborne illness outbreaks where beef was implicated as the contaminated food source. Understanding how STEC attach to beef surfaces may inform effective intervention applications at the abattoir. This simulated me...
