Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are major foodborne pathogens causing sporadic enteric disease and paediatric haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) cases globally. In France, STEC O26:H11 strains carrying the stx2 gene have become the leading cause of paediatric HUS over the last decade. Concurrently, data from the French National Reference Laboratory show an increased proportion of stx2-carrying...
