Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic and genetic markers of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O26 from North America were used to develop serotype-specific protocols for detection of this pathogen. Carbohydrate fermentation profiles and prevalence of gene sequences associated with STEC O26 (n = 20) were examined. Non-STEC O26 (n = 17), E. coli O157 (n = 20), E. coli O111 (n = 22), and generic E. coli (n = 21) were used as...
