Abstract excerpt
A survey of colicins in the ECOR reference collection of Escherichia coli is presented. Twenty-five of the 72 ECOR strains exhibited a phenotype consistent with colicin production and E. coli isolated from human hosts were more likely to be colicinogenic than those from animal hosts. Multiple rep...
