Abstract
Whole-Genome Sequencing for Risk Assessment of Long-term Shiga Toxin–producing<i>Escherichia coli</i>
Highlights
Isolation of St. Louis encephalitis virus from a patient in Belem, Brazil
We describe the use of wholegenome sequencing to assess the risk from long-term Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) carriage in a patient who had been denied surgery because of the infection
On August 18, 2013, a 64-yearold woman reporting to be a carrier of STEC since March 2013 contacted the University Medical Center Lübeck, Lubeck, Germany, seeking decolonization therapy that had been provided to long-term STEC carriers during the 2011 STEC O104:H4 outbreak [1]
Summary
Isolation of St. Louis encephalitis virus from a patient in Belem, Brazil. Whole-Genome Sequencing for Risk Assessment of Long-term Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli To the Editor: Long-term carriage of Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) can greatly affect the social and work lives of infected patients.
