Recent Non-O157 E. coli Outbreaks

E coli BacteriaShiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 is a well-recognized cause of bloody diarrhea, hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Non-O157 STEC (non-O157 E. coli) contribute to this burden of illness but have been underrecognized as a result of diagnostic limitations and inadequate surveillance. The six most common strains of non-O157 E. coli include E. coli O26, E. coli O45, E. coli O103, E. coli O111, E. coli O121 and E. coli O145.
