title: Isolation of a nonpathogenic strain of Citrobacter sedlakii which expresses Escherichia coli O157 antigen.
abstract: A nonpathogenic strain of Citrobacter sedlakii which expresses the Escherichia coli O157 antigen is described. The discovery of this strain emphasizes the necessity of additional biochemical and/or toxigenicity testing when isolates react with E. coli O157 latex reagents.
