Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli in Montana: Bacterial Genotypes and Clinical Profiles

The diseases and virulence genes associated with Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are characterized incompletely. We analyzed, by polymerase chain reaction, 82 STEC isolates collected prospectively in Montana and profiled associated illnesses by patient chart review. All E. coli O157:H7...

Zusammenfassung:	The diseases and virulence genes associated with Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are characterized incompletely. We analyzed, by polymerase chain reaction, 82 STEC isolates collected prospectively in Montana and profiled associated illnesses by patient chart review. All E. coli O157:H7 contained stx2-group genes, as well as eae, iha, espA and ehxA; 84% contained stx1. Non-O157:H7 STEC less frequently contained stx1 (P=.046), stx2 (P
