Analysis of Urinary Escherichia coli Isolates for Ability To Produce Shiga Toxin

The frequency of Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in the urinary tract, which can precipitate the hemolytic-uremic syndrome, is unknown. We tested 597 urinary E. coli isolates by Stx immunoassay and found no STEC. The routine screening of urinary E. coli for the ability to produce...
