Characterization of a gne::IS629 O Rough:H7 Escherichia coli Strain from a Hemorrhagic Colitis Patient

摘要

Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli strains that are O rough:H7 due to gne ::IS 629 were thought to be rare and to have unknown pathogenic potential. Recently, an O rough:H7 strain caused by gne ::IS 629 was isolated from a hemorrhagic colitis patient, suggesting that these strains are pathogenic and may not be as rare as anticipated.
