title: Characterization of a gne::IS629 O rough:H7 Escherichia coli strain from a hemorrhagic colitis patient.
abstract: Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli strains that are O rough:H7 due to gne::IS629 were thought to be rare and to have unknown pathogenic potential. Recently, an O rough:H7 strain caused by gne::IS629 was isolated from a hemorrhagic colitis patient, suggesting that these strains are pathogenic and may not be as rare as anticipated.
