We report an ongoing, protracted and geographically dispersed outbreak of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) and gastroenteritis in Germany, involving 30 cases since December 2016. The outbreak was caused by the sorbitol-fermenting immotile variant of Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) Escherichia coli O157. Molecular typing revealed close relatedness between isolates from 14 cases. One HUS patient died. Results of a case-control study suggest packaged minced meat as the most likely food vehicle. Food safety investigations are ongoing.
我们报告了德国正在发生的、持续时间长且地域分散的溶血性尿毒综合征（HUS）和肠胃炎疫情，自2016年12月以来已涉及30例病例。此次疫情由产志贺毒素大肠杆菌（STEC）O157的山梨醇发酵无动力变种引起。分子分型显示，14例病例的分离株之间密切相关。一名HUS患者死亡。一项病例对照研究结果表明，包装碎肉是最有可能的食物载体。食品安全调查正在进行中。
