| Abstract: | Detection of multiple pathogens, particularly a combination of viruses and bacteria, is infrequently documented in outbreaks of gastroenteritis. This paper reports the presence of Norwalk-like virus (NLV) and enterohaemorrhagic verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli in one individual, and NLV and verotoxin-producing Aeromonas sobria in another individual, both part of a large gastroenteritis outbreak. The causes of gastroenteritis in such outbreaks may be more complex than previously thought. |
