Escherichia coli O157:H7 - reported isolates, United States, 1996

Only E. coli O157:H7 isolates that are confirmed by a state public health laboratory are reported to PHLIS. Many public health laboratories are now able to subtype isolates using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, a procedure that facilitates comparison of strains among states.
