Two isolates of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O104:H4 were isolated in France in 2004 and 2009. Both were characterized and compared to the strain which caused the German outbreak in 2011 and to other O104:H4 strains. This suggests that different O104:H4 EHEC strains were present several years prior to the 2011 outbreak.
2004 年和 2009 年,法国分离到两株肠出血性大肠杆菌(EHEC)O104:H4 。对这两株菌进行了特征分析,并与 2011 年德国暴发疫情的菌株以及其他 O104:H4 菌株进行了比较。这表明,在 2011 年暴发疫情之前的几年,就已经存在不同的 O104:H4 EHEC 菌株。
