The Problem
Enterohemoraghic E. coli (EHEC) cause sickness in over a quart of a million people each year, costing billions of dollars worldwide. This bacteria lives peacefully in the gut of some cattle, but if the levels of this bacteria are high in meat that is consumed by humans, we become ill. Interestingly, 95% of the EHEC bacteria in cattle are found in just 5% of the cows. These high bacterial load cows are known as "super shedders", and are a large concern to the beef industry. If the super shedders could be identified before they enter the processing plants, the contamination of the meat and the tools used in the plant could be avoided.
