Twenty-seven years of screening for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in a university hospital. Brussels, Belgium, 1987-2014.
OBJECTIVE:Since 1987 all fecal samples referred to the clinical microbiology laboratory of the UZ Brussel were screened for the presence of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). In this study all STEC strains isolated over a period of 27 years (1987-2014) were reexamined to achieve deeper insight in the STEC infections in our patient population. METHODS:A total of 606 STEC strains from 604 patients were subjected to molecular methods for shiga toxin (stx) subtyping, detection of additional virulence genes, typing of the O-serogroups, and phylogenetic relatedness assessment of STEC O157:H7/H-....
