We compared 61 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serogroups from 448 food isolates with 71 STEC serogroups from 1,447 isolates from patients in Germany. Two thirds (41/61), representing 72% of food isolates, were also found in patients. Serogroups typically isolated from patients with hemolytic uremic syndrome were rarely found in food.
我们将来自448份食品分离株的61个产志贺毒素大肠杆菌(STEC)血清型与来自德国1447份患者分离株的71个STEC血清型进行了比较。在患者中也发现了三分之二(41/61)的血清型,占食品分离株的72%。通常从溶血性尿毒症综合征患者中分离出的血清型在食品中很少见。
