ABSTRACT
We report a fatal case of hemolytic uremic syndrome with urinary tract infection in Japan caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli. We genotypically identified the isolate as OX18H2. Whole-genome sequencing revealed 3 potentially pathogenic lineages (OX18H2, H19, and H34) that have been continuously isolated in Japan.
