Шаблон:Short description

Escherichia coli O121 is a pathogenic serotype of Escherichia coli,[1] associated with Shiga toxin, intestinal bleeding, and hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS).[2] HUS, if left untreated, can lead to kidney failure.Шаблон:Cn

Most serotypes of E. coli—a widespread species of bacteria residing in the lower intestines of mammals—are beneficial or do not cause disease. Unlike other pathogenic serotypes, such as E. coli O157:H7 (also an enterohemorrhagic E. coli), little is known in detail about the public health significance of O121. Therefore, O121 is sometimes roughly classified as a type of “non-O157 Shiga toxin–producing E. coliШаблон:Hsp” (non-O157 STEC).Шаблон:Cn
