Figure 2. Reported and estimated incidence of Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) by STEC detection method, serotype and year, Connecticut, 2000–2009. <sup>a</sup>Includes estimate of non-O157 isolates that would have been found had ST testing been done on all specimens for which only O157 culture was done. Assumes the ration by year of non-O157 to O157 isolates from ST testing applies equally to O157 isolates for that year from culture.
