- Performance comparison of benchtop high-throughput sequencing platforms (2012, background): “Although all infections during the outbreak were acquired in Germany, travellers took their infections back to other countries in Europe and North America, including the United Kingdom [7].”
- Environmental Escherichia coli: ecology and public health implications—a review (2017, background): “Well-known examples Journal of Applied Microbiology 123, 570--581 © 2017 The Society for Applied Microbiology 573 include a spinach-associated outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 in 2006 (Jay et al. 2007) and a sprout-associated outbreak of STEC O104 in 2011 (Frank et al. 2011).”
- Main Groups of Microorganisms of Relevance for Food Safety and Stability (2017, neutral): “This outbreak was linked to consumption of sprouts and the STEC isolated from confirmed cases indicated that STEC was Shiga toxin-2 producer (Frank et al., 2011).”
- World Health Organization Estimates of the Global and Regional Disease Burden of 22 Foodborne Bacterial, Protozoal, and Viral Diseases, 2010: A Data Synthesis (2015, neutral): “Foodborne disease outbreaks have led to adverse impacts on trade and food security [5,6].”
- Foodborne pathogens (2017, background): “Interestingly, for the outbreak in Germany, investigators initially identified fresh produce—including leafy greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers as likely sources [57].”
- World Health Organization Global Estimates and Regional Comparisons of the Burden of Foodborne Disease in 2010 (2015, background): “These diseases may be caused by infectious agents, such as the Escherichia coli O104:H4 outbreak attributed to contaminated fenugreek sprouts, which caused 386 cases of illness and 54 deaths in Germany in 2011 [1].”
- How sex and age affect immune responses, susceptibility to infections, and response to vaccination (2015, background): “Again in women with ‘Escherichia-coli-O104:H4-associated-hemolytic-uremic-syndrome’, the humoral response was found stronger leading to detrimental effects most likely due to the overwhelming production of pathogenic antibodies (Frank et al., 2011; Greinacher et al., 2011).”
