Abstract: BackgroundEnterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O26:H11/H−, the most common non-O157 serotype causing hemolytic uremic syndrome worldwide, are evolutionarily highly dynamic with new pathogenic clones emerging rapidly. Here, we investigated the population structure of EHEC O26 isolated… read more here.
