Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) strains are primarily foodborne pathogens that may cause diarrheal outbreaks and are associated with severe complications, specifically hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS). We report here genome sequence data for STEC O26:H11, which is associated with a cluster of cases of HUS, a rarely described syndrome in South Africa.
产志贺毒素大肠杆菌(STEC)菌株主要是食源性病原体,可引发腹泻疫情,并与严重并发症相关,尤其是溶血尿毒综合征(HUS)。我们在此报告STEC O26:H11的基因组序列数据,该菌株与一组HUS病例有关,HUS在南非是一种鲜有描述的综合征。
