Shiga-toxigenicEscherichia coli strains that are O rough:H7 due togne ::IS629 were thought to be rare and to have unknown pathogenic potential. Recently, an O rough:H7 strain caused bygne ::IS629 was isolated from a hemorrhagic colitis patient, suggesting that these strains are pathogenic and may not be as rare as anticipated.
