RESUMO
@#Contamination of foodborne pathogens is the main cause of related diseases. Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E.coli O157:H7), as a representative of pathogenic E.coli, is one of the most severe and commonly reported E.coli in the world, but there is still no effective clinical treatment against the infection. Antibiotics show effective in the early infection of E.coli O157:H7. However, their extensive use has led to drug-resistant bacteria and genes in recent years, which becomes a great threat to public health. This article reviews the research progress of E.coli O157:H7 from the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the resistance mechanism, and the prevention and control methods, in order to provide a reference for its prevention, early clinical treatment and related research.
