Detection, enumeration and isolation of strains carrying the stx2 gene from urban sewage.

Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research - 1 Jan 2003

Abstract excerpt

Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains have been related with waterborne outbreaks. Besides 0157:H7, several serotypes of E. coli and other enterobacteria have been implicated in outbreaks and reported to carry the shiga toxin genes. Shiga toxins, stx1 and stx2, are important virulence factors of these strains. These genes have been linked to bacteriophages and consequently are susceptible to lateral...
