Food poisoning by Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli is an infectious food poisoning that is caused by the growth of E.coli taken into the intestinal tract though the ingestion of food. These Diarrheagenic E.coli can be broadly classified into five types. Among these, Enterohemorrhagic E.coli(EHEC) causes hemorrhagic colitis through the action of the verotoxin that it produces; it can also cause hemolytic uremic syndrome and encephalopathy, whichcan be fatal. Many cases of mass food poisoning by EHEC have occurred, so EHEC is viewed as the most dangerous among Diarrheagenic E.colifrom the standpoint of food hygiene. In addition to E.coli O157, other serotypes have been detected, such as O26, O111, O118, O103, and O121. In Japan, however, most of EHEC are reported to be of E.coli O157.
