Sporadic Occurrence of Enteroaggregative Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 Similar to 2011 Outbreak Strain.

ABSTRACT: We describe the recent detection of 3 Shiga toxin-producing enteroaggregative Escherichia coli O104:H4 isolates from patients and 1 from pork in the Netherlands that were genetically highly similar to isolates from the 2011 large-scale outbreak in Europe. Our findings stress the importance of safeguarding food supply production chains to prevent future outbreaks.
