Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EHEC (Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli) is a major cause of foodborne illness in developed countries, not developing countries. It can cause severe bloody diarrhea, and although it can be fatal in rare cases, it is not a major cause of death for small children globally. Other pathogens such as rotavirus and Shigella are more prevalent causes of diarrhea-related deaths in developing countries.
