Abstract
A 6-year-old girl touched an agar plate containing Escherichia coli O157:H7 while visiting a hospital laboratory, and subsequently, colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome developed. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns of the isolate cultured from her stool and that from the laboratory were identical.
