Abstract excerpt
Many of the current studies on the genetic diversity of Escherichia coli O157:H7 have focused on pathogenic clinical, veterinary, or food isolates. These studies did not explore the diversity of the larger population in the farm environment. Research on selected farm isolates address this wider diversity but have typically been limited to a specific geographic locale or farm type, thus giving limited insight into...
