Analysis of Collection of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome–associated Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

Multilocus sequence typing of 169 non-O157 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) isolated from patients with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) demonstrated 29 different sequence types (STs); 78.1% of these strains clustered in 5 STs. From all STs and serotypes identified, we established a referenc...

From all STs and serotypes identified, we established a reference panel of EHEC associated with HUS (HUSEC collection).
