  1. Do confined cattle have increased risk of shedding E. coli 0157:H7 due to the high grain content of their diet? Are the E. coli 0157:H7 shed by grain-fed animals more likely to cause human illness? Published: February 04, 2008
  2. I've read that feeding corn to cattle produces an acidic environment in their digestive systems, leading to the growth of E. coli O157:H7 and that these cattle are the only known source of this bacteria. Is this true, and, if so, should we be re-evaluating a more natural, grass diet for cattle? Published: February 04, 2008
