Why is it important?

We isolated this clone both from patients, food, and water. We believe it an example illustrating the link between environmet and patients for this illness.

Perspectives

I believe more attention should be paid on the environment where bacteria exist. Because this kind of disease cant spread from persons to persons, instead, it spread via a kind of media such as water or food. To keep away from the bacteria contaminted environment is most effective measures to control this illness.
