Multilocus sequence typing of Escherichia coli O26:H11 isolates carrying stx in canada does not identify genetic diversity

J Clin Microbiol. 2005 Oct;43(10):5319-23. doi: 10.1128/JCM.43.10.5319-5323.2005.

Abstract

Multilocus sequence typing of 31 stx-carrying Escherichia coli O26:H11 strains isolated in Canada between 1999 and 2003 revealed a high degree of genetic relatedness at 10 loci, suggesting either that this is a clonal serotype (similar to O157:H7) or that additional genetic loci need to be examined.
