Abstract
This study examined Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157, usi ng phage typing, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and typing of Shiga toxi n variant genes by PCR with restriction fragment length polymorphism in an epidemiological survey of STEC O157 isolated from humans in Finland between 1990 and 1999.
