Combined usage of serodiagnosis and O antigen typing to isolate Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O76:H7 from a hemolytic uremic syndrome case and genomic insights from the isolate
ABSTRACT Minor O-serogroups of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) can cause severe clinical complications in humans, including hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). However, detection and isolation of these minor serogroups of STEC are challenging due to the lack of specific isolation methods....
