Abstract
Two isolates of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O104:H4 were isolated in France in 2004 and 2009. Both were characterized and compared to the strain which caused the German outbreak in 2011 and to other O104:H4 strains.

This suggests a presence of different O104:H4 EHEC several years prior to the 2011 outbreak.
