Summary

1,011 samples of raw milk from bulk storage tanks were examined for the presence of verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli of serogroup 0157 (0157 VTEC). 0157 VTEC was not isolated from any of the milk samples examined. Additionally, survival of 0157 VTEC in raw and UHT-sterilized cow's milk at 7 and 15 °C was studied, both in the absence and presence of an activated lactoperoxidase-thiocyanate-hydrogen peroxide system (LPS). Results indicated that the 0157 VTEC strain tested was able to grow in raw milk at 7 °C as well as at 15 °C.
