Abstract excerpt
This study was conducted to characterize the virulence potential of 59 Escherichia coli strains carrying EAE and lacking the enteropathogenic E. coli adherence factor and Shiga toxin probe sequences. In hybridization studies, all strains carried the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE)-associated DNA sequences. Of the other 15 virulence DNA sequences tested, HLY was the most frequent (44.1%); 17 combinations of...
