All of the following pathogens are associated with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), except d. Yersinia enterocolitica.
HUS is typically associated with:
- E. coli O157
(a major cause), - Shigella dysenteriae serotype I,
- Citrobacter freundii (less common but noted).
Yersinia enterocolitica is not a common pathogen associated with HUS.
