O-antigen diversification masks identification of highly pathogenic STEC O104:H4-like strains

2022-09-15

Abstract excerpt

Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) can give rise to a range of clinical outcomes from diarrhea to the life-threatening systemic condition, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Although STEC O157:H7 is the serotype most frequently associated with HUS, a major outbreak of HUS occurred in 2011 in Germany, and was caused by a rare serotype, STEC O104:H4. Prior to 2011 and since the outbreak, STEC O104:H4 strains have o...
