ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Severe diarrheal infections caused by Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli O103H2stx(1)eae-epsilonehx, O145H28stx(1)eae-gammaehx (two cases in a family), and O174H21stx(2c) in farm residents were traced to cattle. Molecular methods were applied to the isolation and characterization of the strains. The causative strains were also isolated from cattle samples 1 or 4 months later.
