Abstract: During a 2-years study, the presence of Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) was investigated in shellﬁsh (n = 238), seawater (n = 12), and surface sediment (n = 39) collected from three French coastal shellﬁshharvesting areas and freshwaters (n=216) in their watersheds. PCR detection of Shiga toxin- (stx1/stx2) and intimin- (eae) genes following enrichment from these samples revealed the presence of least one of the stx genes in 30.3% of shellﬁsh batches, 85.9% of freshwater, 41.7% of seawater...

Topic-specific impact indicators

Popularity: This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network.
Influence: This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Citation Count: This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Impulse: This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network.
