[Incidence of enterohemorrhagic E. coli in meat].
In the period of August 1995 to January 1996 samples of beef and pork completed by raw sausages, were tested for enterohaemorrhagic strains of Escherichia coli. Samples were taken in a meat-processing company after mincing and cooling, delivered to the microbiological laboratory. All investigated meat originated from slaughterhouses which are EU-certified. In this study we found in no case enterohaemorrhagic strains of E. coli. Colony forming units were in the test 10(5)/g meat in average.
