Non-O157 Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli Associated with Venison
We investigated an outbreak of non-O157 Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli at a high school in Minnesota, USA, in November 2010. Consuming undercooked venison and not washing hands after handling raw venison were associated with illness. E. coli O103:

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Outbreak in Adults and Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli Negative for Locus of Enterocyte Effacement, France, 2025 [PDF]
In January 2025, the Escherichia coli National Reference Center of France detected an outbreak of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in adults, caused by Shiga toxin–producing E. coli negative for locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE). The outbreak included

Timeliness of Surveillance during Outbreak of Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli Infection, Germany, 2011 [PDF]
In the context of a large outbreak of Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 in Germany, we quantified the timeliness of the German surveillance system for hemolytic uremic syndrome and Shiga toxin–producing E.

Laboratory Practices and Incidence of Non-O157 Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli Infections
We surveyed laboratories in Washington State, USA, and found that increased use of Shiga toxin assays correlated with increased reported incidence of non-O157 Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections during 2005–2010.

Whole Genome Sequencing of an Unusual Serotype of Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli
Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli serotype O117:K1:H7 is a cause of persistent diarrhea in travelers to tropical locations. Whole genome sequencing identified genetic mechanisms involved in the pathoadaptive phenotype.
