Abstract excerpt
In 2011, in Germany, Escherichia coli O104:H4 caused the enterohemorrhagic E coli (EHEC) outbreak with the highest incidence rate of hemolytic uremic syndrome. This pathogen carries an exceptionally potent combination of EHEC- and enteroaggregative E coli (EAEC)-specific virulence factors. Here, we identified an E coli O104:H4 isolate that carried a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the start codon (ATG >...
