Article Synopsis
- A study investigated Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) strains from human infections in Brazil, focusing on their serotypes, genotypes, and virulence genes over a ten-year period (2007-2017).
- Out of 43 strains analyzed, 21 different serotypes were identified, with O111:H8 being the most prevalent, and included some rare serotypes associated with severe illnesses.
- The research showed significant genetic diversity among the strains through pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multi-locus sequence typing (MLST), including 17 distinct sequence types, and highlighted the need for further studies to assess the public health implications of these findings.
