School outbreak of Escherichia coli O157 with high levels of transmission, Staffordshire, England, February 2012

Conclusions
Control measures included several interventions, in particular, universal screening of pupils and staff. Screening during school outbreaks is not underpinned by guidance but proved to be a key control measure. Screening of asymptomatic contacts should be considered in similar outbreaks.
