Lytic and Lysogenic Infection of Diverse <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Shigella</i> Strains with a Verocytotoxigenic Bacteriophage
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
A verocytotoxigenic bacteriophage isolated from a strain of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157, into which a kanamycin resistance gene (aph3) had been inserted to inactivate the verocytotoxin gene (vt2), was used to infect Enterobacteriaceae strains. A number of Shigella and E. coli strains were susceptible to lysogenic infection, and a smooth E. coli isolate (O107) was also susceptible to lytic infection....
