Abstract

We report a fatal case of hemolytic uremic syndrome with urinary tract infection in Japan caused by Shiga toxin- producing Escherichia coli. We genotypically identifi ed the isolate as OX18:H2. Whole-genome sequencing revealed 3 potentially pathogenic lineages (OX18:H2, H19, and H34) that have been continuously isolated in Japan.
