Major serotypes of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) carry a locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE), which is required for attaching and effacing lesion formation. Genome information of LEE-negative STEC is scarce despite their virulence potential. We present the complete genome sequences of eight LEE-negative STEC isolates from hemolytic-uremic syndrome patients.
