Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli Strains Negative for Locus of Enterocyte Effacement

Most Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections that are associated with severe sequelae such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) are caused by attaching and effacing pathogens that carry the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE).
