This book summarizes the amazing international efforts to understand and advance the treatment of enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) and Shigatoxigenic E. coli (STEC) disease. Expert authors discuss the genomics, pathogenesis, risk factors, clinical interventions, and the status of cytotoxin-producing E. coli in its bovine/environmental reservoirs, the foods implicated, and potential food safety interventions. Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli and Other Shiga Toxin-Producing E. coli is intended for students, scientists, and other medical, public health, and microbiology professionals.

Vanessa Sperandio is a Professor in the Departments of Microbiology and Biochemistry at UT Southwestern. Dr. Sperandio's research investigates chemical, stress, and nutritional signaling at the interface among the mammalian host, beneficial microbiota, and invading pathogens. Her laboratory research focuses on how bacterial cells sense several mammalian hormones leading to rewiring and reprogramming of bacterial transcription towards host and niche adaptation. Dr. Sperandio is chair-elect of Division D of the ASM and was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology in 2013. She is the recipient of the 2015 ASM Eli-Lilly and Company-Elanco research award and a winner of the GSK Discovery Fast Track challenge program 2014. She was a Pew Latin American Fellow in Biological Sciences, an Ellison Medical Foundation New Scholar in Global Infectious Diseases, a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Investigator in Pathogenesis of Infectious Diseases, and a Kavli Frontiers of Science Fellow from the National Academy of Science since 2007. She currently serves on the editorial boards of mBio, Infection and Immunity, Journal of Bacteriology, and Gut Pathogens. Carolyn J. Hovde is a University Distinguished Professor who has served as the Idaho NIH INBRE Director since 2006. Dr. Hovde's laboratory studies E. coli O157: H7 with a primary focus on understanding the relationship between this human pathogen and its silent reservoir, healthy cattle.
