E. coli O157:H7 in Canada, bean sprouts

Hi everyone, 

PulseNet Canada has a cluster of E. coli O157:H7 in one of our provinces, appears to be associated with consumption of bean sprouts.  Has anyone else seens these patterns recently?  We'd be particularly interested in hearing from PulseNet China or others from the Asia Pacific coordinator's area.

There are several highly similar PFGE patterns involved, and a few MLVA profiles.  Details are in the attachements and bundle, let me know if you need anything else.

cheers,

celine
