Abstract excerpt
Despite the diversity of Escherichia coli pathotypes, there are many virulence genes common to isolates from food animals and humans, suggesting that opportunity exists for genetic exchange between human and animal isolates to create the next emerging, foodborne pathogen. Hemolytic activity in E. coli has been attributed to hemolysin genes found in either uropathogenic or enterohemorrhagic E. coli. These E. coli...
