Abstract
Fresh meat, poultry, and seafood purchased from Seattle area grocery s tores were investigated for the presence of Shiga-like toxin-producing Escherichia coli by using DNA probes for Shiga-like toxin (SLT) genes I and II. Of the 291 food samples tested, 17% had colonies with seque nce homology to SLT I and/or SLT II genes.
