E. coli bacteria are a normal part of the intestinal flora in humans and other animals, where they aid digestion. However, some strains, for instance E. coli O157, can produce a toxin that leads to severe illness, or even death. Normal strains can also produce infections in weakened or immunosuppressed people. © Martin Oeggerli/Science Photo Library Colonic ischaemia as a severe Shiga toxin/ verotoxin producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 complication in a patient without haemolytic uraemic syndrome, Germany, June 2011 33 by G Gault, F X Weill, P Mariani-Kurkdjian, N Jourdan-da Silva, L King, B Aldabe, M Charron, N Ong, C Castor, M Macé, E Bingen, H Noël, V Vaillant, A Bone, B Vendrely, Y Delmas, C Combe, R Bercion, E d’Andigné, M Desjardin, H de Valk, P Rolland E-alert Characteristics of the enteroaggregative Shiga toxin/verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 strain causing the outbreak of haemolytic uraemic syndrome in Germany, May to June 2011 36 by F Scheutz, E Møller Nielsen, J Frimodt-Møller, N Boisen, S Morabito, R Tozzoli, J P Nataro, A Caprioli Surveillance and outbreak reports Outbreak of Shigella sonnei infections in the Orthodox Jewish community of Antwerp, Belgium, April to August 2008 42 by K De Schrijver, S Bertrand, I Gutiérrez Garitano, D Van den Branden, J Van Schaeren National outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis phage type 14b in England, September to December 2009: case–control study 48 by K Janmohamed, D Zenner, C Little, C Lane, J Wain, A Charlett, B Adak, D Morgan The proof of the pudding is in the eating: an outbreak of emetic syndrome after a kindergarten excursion, Berlin, Germany, December 2007 54 by GO Kamga Wambo, F Burckhardt, C Frank, P Hiller, H Wichmann-Schauer, I Zuschneid, J Hentschke, T Hitzbleck, M Contzen, M Suckau, K Stark An outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium traced back to salami, Denmark, April to June 2010 60 by KG Kuhn, M Torpdahl, C Frank, K Sigsgaard, S Ethelberg 1
