摘要
We report on a 65-year-old male patient with a Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O51:H49 gastrointestinal infection and sepsis associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) with a fatal outcome. The strains isolated harbored stx(2e) and eae, a very unusual and new virulence profile for an HUS-associated enterohemorrhagic E. coli.
