- Abstract
We investigated a multistate cluster of Escherichia coli 0157;H7 isolates; pulsed-field gel electrophoresis subtyping, using a single enzyme, suggested an epidemiologic association. An investigation and additional subtyping, however, did not support the association. Confirming E. coli 0157 clusters with two or more restriction endonucleases is necessary before public health resources are allocated to follow-up investigations.
