Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
Samples were taken from four of the cases. The analysis shows that they were infected with different combinations of pathogenic E. coli: ETEC (enterotoxic E. coli), EPEC (enteropathogenic E. coli) and EAEC (enteroaggregative E. coli). Samples were taken from four of the cases. The analysis shows that they were infected with different combinations of pathogenic E. coli: ETEC (enterotoxic E. coli), EPEC (enteropathogenic E. coli) and EAEC (enteroaggregative E. coli). The Swedish Public Health Authority has sequenced isolates of ETEC from two human cases in Jönköping and Stockholm, respectively. The results show that the isolates are very similar (3 SNP difference), indicating that the outbreaks in the two municipalities have a common source.
