Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis of Shiga toxin 1– and 2–producing Escherichia coli O157 isolates digested with XbaI. A dendrogram displaying PFGE pattern similarity is shown at left. The PFGE profiles for the case-patients and water isolates were identical and designated as pattern EXH01.0238 by PulseNet (https://www.cdc.gov/pulsenet/). The PFGE patterns for the deer and coyote scat isolates shared >95% similarity with pattern EXH01.0238. Dates on water samples indicate date
