Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate subtyping methods for verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) O128ab:H2. METHODS AND RESULTS: Eleven human and food strains isolated over a 15-year period were examined. All were intimin (eae)-negative, but all possessed enterohaemolysin and VT1-encoding sequences which in nine strains were vtx1c variant. Ten strains had VT2 genes which were all vtx2d. Plasmid profiles and randomly...
