A year-long outbreak of multiresistant Escherichia coli K52 H1, predominantly serogroup O15, is reported from south east London. Most patients had urinary tract infections, some with septicaemia; but some cases of septicaemia were associated with pneumonia, meningitis, and endocarditis--unusual infections for E coli. 3 of these patients died. The organism was acquired in the community, and its source is still being investigated.
据报道，伦敦东南部爆发了一场持续一年的多重耐药性大肠杆菌K52 H1疫情，主要血清群为O15。大多数患者患有尿路感染，部分患者伴有败血症；但有些败血症病例与肺炎、脑膜炎和心内膜炎有关，这些感染对大肠杆菌来说并不常见。其中3名患者死亡。这种病菌是在社区感染的，其源头仍在调查中。
