Enteroaggregative, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 outbreak: new microbiological findings boost coordinated investigations by European public health laboratories

Exerted from the editorial:


".............fascinating development stems from comparative genomics, available in real time, to elucidate the ancestral origin of the 2011 outbreak strain. On 2 June, further information on the nature of the hybrid EAggEC STEC/VTEC pathotype of this strain came from whole genome sequence information generated by two groups of German academic investigators [11]. Sequence information from a third isolate from a patient was subsequently generated at the Health Protection Agency, United Kingdom.  The data sets from these sequencing initiatives were instantly released for public access, resulting in data analysis among bioinformaticians and other researchers around the world..........."

My laboratory "Kwan Lab" has been participating in the data analysis of the sequences.
