For bloody diarrhea, #shigatoxin producing E. coli should be the first thought, followed by Campylobacter, Shigella, Salmonella, non-infectious causes.
Visible bloody diarrhea w/ severe abdominal pain, lack of fever & rare leukocytes in stool: suggest #Shigatoxin producing enterohemorrhagic E. coli
#STEC O157 infections stools are bloody
non-O157 strains of STEC are usually non-bloody
