Popis:	Summary An epidemic of mild gastroenteritis in a neonatal ward of a London hospital is described. The causative organism was Escherichia coli O125.H21. Although efforts to control the spread of the organism were instituted, it spread to affect 16 babies. The faeces of all mothers, their babies and ward staff were examined for E. coli and the isolates serotyped. In contrast to the epidemic strain, the other serotypes did not spread to that extent.
