Abstract excerpt
We and others have noted that there are serological differences between verotoxin 2 (VT2) (also known as Shiga-like toxin II) produced by Escherichia coli C600(933W) and the VT2 variant (VT2v) produced by strain E32511. Recent reports have described nucleotide sequence differences between the VT2v B subunit cistron of E32511 and B2F1 and that of VT2. We have confirmed the sequence differences and have used them...
