Shiga toxin-encoding bacteriophages--genomes in motion.

International journal of medical microbiology : IJMM - 1 Sept 2004

Herold Sylvia, Karch Helge, Schmidt Herbert

Abstract excerpt

Shiga toxins (Stx) represent a group of bacterial toxins that are involved in human and animal disease. Stx are mainly produced by Escherichia coli isolated from human and non-human sources, Shigella dysenteriae type 1, and sporadically, by Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter cloacae and Shigella flexneri. The genes encoding Stx are encoded in the genome of heterogeneous lambdoid prophages (Stx-converting...
