Mellmann A, Bielaszewska M, Köck R, Friedrich AW, Fruth A et al. (2008): Analysis of collection of hemolytic uremic syndrome-associated enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli
Emerg. Infect. Dis. 14 (8): 1287-1290.

Multilocus sequence typing of 169 non-O157 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) isolated from patients with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) demonstrated 29 different sequence types (STs); 78.1 % of these strains clustered in 5 STs. From all STs and serotypes identified, we established a reference panel of EHEC associated with HUS (HUSEC collection).
