Abstract excerpt
Virulence factors of Verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) strains isolated from hamburgers and ground beef were studied in Argentina by PCR. Their virulence profiles were correlated with those corresponding to strains isolated from calves and adult cattle. Most virulent profiles (VTs+ eae+ Mp+) were present in E. coli from healthy and diarrheic calves corresponding to O5:H-, O5:H27, O20:H?, O26:H11,...
