Abstract: | The emergence of E coli O157:H7 in Malta is a sign of the times. It represents one of the newly emerging infections associated with food. The first two documented cases of E coli 0157:H7 infection in Malta occurred in July and August, 1996. Food types classically incriminated were surveyed by the Department of Public Health. Epidemiological investigation aimed to trace the environmental sources of infection.• Microbiology was performed jointly by diagnostic and public health laboratories. Facts about infection and control of the disease are highlighted with a view to alerting local practitioners to the condition. |
