Whole-Genome Sequencing Analysis of a <i>stx</i>-Negative <i>Escherichia</i> <i>coli</i> O63:H6 Isolate Associated with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

Shiga toxin-encoding genes (<i>stx</i>) of enterohemorrhagic <i>Escherichia</i> <i>coli</i> (EHEC) can be lost during infection or in vitro cultivation, and in clinical practice, it is difficult to distinguish EHEC that have lost <i>stx</i> (EHEC-LST)...
