We determined the prevalence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli(STEC) in diarrheal stool samples from Nebraska by three methods: cefixime-tellurite sorbitol MacConkey (CT-SMAC) culture, enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) enzyme immunoassay, and stx(1,2)polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Fourteen (4.2%) of 335 specimens were positive by at least one method (CT-SMAC culture [6 of 14], EHEC enzyme immunoassay [13 of 14], stx(1,2)PCR [14 of 14]). Six contained serogroup O157, while non-O157 were as prevalent as O157 serogroups.
