We describe a new atypical Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) responsible for a severe episode of haemolytic-uraemic syndrome in an adult with a relapse associated with bacteraemia. This STECs train of serotype O80:H2 harboured stx2c and stx2d gene subtypes, the rare eae ξ variant and a ColV plasmid with a conserved virulence plasmidic region involved in virulence of human and avian extraintestinal...
