Mild Illness during Outbreak of Shiga Toxin?Producing Escherichia coli O157 Infections Associated with Agricultural Show, Australia

摘要

During a large outbreak of Shiga toxin?producing Escherichia coli illness associated with an agricultural show in Australia, we used whole-genome sequencing to detect an IS 1203 v insertion in the Shiga toxin 2c subunit A gene of Shiga toxin?producing E. coli . Our study showed that clinical illness was mild, and hemolytic uremic syndrome was not detected.
