Whole genome sequencing improved case ascertainment in an outbreak of Shiga toxin-producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157 associated with raw drinking milk
10 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
Five cases of STEC O157 phage type (PT) 21/28 reported consumption of raw cows' drinking milk (RDM) produced at a dairy farm in the South West of England. STEC O157 PT21/28 was isolated from faecal specimens from milking cows on the implicated farm. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) showed that human and cattle isolates were the same strain. Further analysis of WGS data confirmed that sequences of isolates from an...
