Gould et al. (2013) reported the
most recent and comprehensive survey of the STEC from 2000 to
2010 (in ten years), in which the FoodNet sites showed 2006 cases
of non-O157 STEC and 5688 cases of O157 STEC infections. The non-
O157 STEC infection incidence increased from 0.12 (in year of 2000)
to 0.95 per 100,000 populations (in year of 2010), while the rate of
O157 STEC infection decreased from 2.17 to 0.95 per 100,000
