Popis: | The prevalence of Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) was determined by evaluating its presence in faecal samples from 155 heifers, and 254 dairy cows in 21 farms at North of Portugal sampled between December 2017 and June 2019. The prevalence of STEC in heifers (45%) was significantly higher than in lactating cows (16%) (p This study was financially supported by: i) project PhageSTEC (POCI-01-0145 -FEDER 029628) funded by FEDER through COMPETE2020 (Programa Operacional Competitividade e Internacionalizac¸ão) and by National Funds thought FCT (Fundac¸ão para a Ciência e a Tecnologia); ii) strategic project UIDB/04469/2020 unit and BioTecNorte operation (NORTE-01-0145-FEDER 000004) funded by FCT under the scope of the European Regional Development Fund (Norte2020 - Programa Operacional Regional do Norte); iii) project PI16/01477 from Plan Estatal de I+D+I 2013-2016, Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII), Subdireccio´n General de Evaluacio´n y Fomento de la Investigacio´n, Ministerio de Economı´a y Competitividad (Gobierno de España) and FEDER; and iv) grant ED431C2017/57 from the Consellerı´a de Cultura, Educacio´n e Ordenación Universitaria, (Xunta de Galicia) and FEDER; UIDB/AGR/04033/2020 by National Funds thought FCT.
