Verotoxic E. coli strains (VTEC) do not at present seem to represent a major hazard in the slaughtering-cutting of pork. In our study on 4469 samples (carcasses and cuts, faeces, environment) analysed by PCR, the serotype verotoxic E. coli O157:H7 most often implicated in serious human illnesses such as haemolytic uraemic syndrome, was never detected. 12% of the carcass and cut samples were VTEC-positive, but none of the isolates seemed potentially pathogenic in humans.
