Effect of Cattle Diet on Escherichia coli O157:H7 Acid Resistance

Received 10 February 1999/Accepted 6 April 1999

The duration of shedding of Escherichia coli O157 isolates by hay-fed and grain-fed steers experimentally inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 was compared, as well as the acid resistance of the bacteria. The hay-fed animals shed E. coli O157 longer than the grain-fed animals, and irrespective of diet, these bacteria were equally acid resistant. Feeding cattle hay may increase human infections with E. coli O157:H7.
