Complete Genome Sequence and Comparative Genome Analysis of Enteropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> O127:H6 Strain E2348/69

25 Oct 2008

Abstract excerpt

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) was the first pathovar of E. coli to be implicated in human disease; however, no EPEC strain has been fully sequenced until now. Strain E2348/69 (serotype O127:H6 belonging to E. coli phylogroup B2) has been used worldwide as a prototype strain to study EPEC biology, genetics, and virulence. Studies of E2348/69 led to the discovery of the locus of enterocyte...
