Escherichia coli is very common in the human bacterial community. Most of them are harmless, but some, known as Shiga toxic E. coli or STEC, can cause serious and sometimes fatal pathologies. The main source of infection is contaminated food, which makes it a major concern for food processors. Alfa chemistry provides an ideal solution for food companies that need to reliably control the risk of STEC.
