Abstract excerpt
Genotyping of 1,102 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli isolates by the use of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) carried out from January to November 2000 has revealed the high genomic diversity of these isolates in Japan. By combining the results of genotyping of the isolates with the information from other epidemiological investigations of the cases, we identified a diffuse outbreak in Japan in the year...
