The Expert Veterinary Laboratory of the Omsk Reference Center of the Rosselkhoznadzor (Omsky Biocluster member) received 6 samples of dairy products for testing for microbiological indicators.
One sample of cheese contained bacteria of the E. coli group, which violates the requirements of the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union 'The Safety of Milk and Dairy Products.'
Most types of E. coli are safe. However, some types ones produce dangerous toxins in the course of their life (mainly endotoxins), which can lead to poisoning. Young children, the elderly and weakened people are most susceptible to this disease. This disease occurs in the form of varying severity of enteritis, enterocolitis in combination with a syndrome of general intoxication.
