Cattle are the primary reservoir ofEscherichia coli O157:H7, the most frequently isolated serotype of enterohemorrhagicE. coli infections among humans in North America. To evaluate the diversity ofE. coli O157:H7 isolates within a single dairy herd, the genomes of 30 isolates collected over a 7-year period were sequenced.
