Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) is known as a pathogen associated with food-borne diseases. The STEC O145 serogroup has been related with acute watery diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Argentina has the highest rate of HUS worldwide with 70% of the cases associated with STEC infections.

- Shiga toxin-producing E. coli strains, particularly O157:H7, are linked to outbreaks and infections globally.
- This study focuses on the high-quality draft genome sequences of 19 O157:H7 strains isolated in Argentina.
- The findings contribute to a better understanding of these strains and their incidence in human health.
