Abstract

ABSTRACT Twenty-seven Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains were isolated from 207 stx -positive French environmental samples. Ten of these strains were positive for stx 1 , and 24 were positive for stx 2 (10 were positive for stx 2vh-a or stx 2vh-b , 19 were positive for stx 2d , and 15 were positive for stx 2e ). One strain belonged to serotype O157:H7, and the others belonged to serogroups O2, O8, O11, O26, O76, O103, O113, O121, O141, O166, and O174. The environment is a reservoir in which new clones of STEC that are pathogenic for humans can emerge.
