Abstract excerpt
Resistance of Escherichia coli O157 to inactivation by high-pressure processing, heat, and UV and gamma radiation was associated with the allele of the prophage-encoded antiterminator Q gene present upstream of the Shiga toxin gene stx2. Increased processing may be required to kill certain strain...
