Abstract

A small outbreak of infective diarrhoea occurred among babies in hospital at Winchester, England. The causal agent was found to be a strain of Escherichia coli 091 K? H7 which was resistant to several antibiotics. Epidemic diarrhoea due to E. coli 091 has previously been reported from south Germany.
