Genomic Variability of O Islands Encoding Tellurite Resistance in Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 Isolates
1 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
Strains of Escherichia coli causing enterohemorrhagic colitis belonging to the O157:H7 lineage are reported to be highly related. Fifteen strains of E. coli O157:H7 and 1 strain of E. coli O46:H(-) (nonflagellated) were examined for the presence of potassium tellurite resistance (Te(r)). Te(r) genes comprising terABCDEF were shown previously to be part of a pathogenicity island also containing integrase, phage,...
