Abstract
To study the incidence of Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) in seafoods from India. Escherichia coli isolated from various seafoods such as fresh fish, clams and water were screened for the presence of stx, hlyA and rfbO157 genes by PCR; 5% of clams and 3% of fresh fish samples were positive for non-O157 STEC. STEC is prevalent in seafoods in India, and non-O157 serotype is more common. Seafood could be a vehicle for transmission of STEC even in tropical countries.
