Out of the 108 cultured samples, only 27 (25%) yielded bacterial growth on TC-SMAC suggesting EHEC O157 (Table-1). With the exception of ice cream samples that revealed no growth on TC-SMAC, other samples showed differences in the recovery rate of suspected colonies; the lowest recorded in goat’s milk where only 7.4% (2/27) showed colonies suspected to be EHEC O157, while the highest rates of isolation recorded in Massora cheese 33% (9/27) followed by fermented cow’s milk 26% (7/27) (Table-1). Only 11% (3/27) in each of the raw cow’s milk, raw she camel’s milk and Ricotta samples had growth on TC-SMAC with colonies suspected to be EHEC O157.
