Characterization and evidence of mobilization of the LEE pathogenicity island of rabbit‐specific strains of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
We have characterized the LEE pathogenicity islands (PAIs) of two rabbit-specific strains of enteropathogenic E. coli (REPEC), 83/39 (serotype O15:H-) and 84/110-1 (O103:H2), and have compared them to homologous loci from the human enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli strains, E2348/69 and EDL933, and another REPEC strain, RDEC-1. All five PAIs contain a 34 kb core region that is highly conserved in...
