Shiga Toxin–producing<i>Escherichia coli</i>Strains Negative for Locus of Enterocyte Effacement

2009-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Most Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections that are associated with severe sequelae such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) are caused by attaching and effacing pathogens that carry the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE). However, a proportion of STEC isolates that do not carry LEE have been associated with HUS. To clarify the emergence of LEE-negative STEC, we compared the genetic composition...
