Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O26 causes diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Strains harboring the stx1a gene prevail, but strains with stx2a as the sole Shiga toxin-encoding gene are now emerging. The traits and virulence of the latter set of strains are unknown. We correlated stx genotypes of 272 EHEC O26 strains isolated in 7 European countries between 1996 and 2012 with...
