Genotypic and Phenotypic Diversity among Induced, stx 2 -Carrying Bacteriophages from Environmental Escherichia coli Strains

15 Nov 2008

Abstract excerpt

Shiga toxin 2 (stx(2)) gene-carrying bacteriophages have been shown to convert Escherichia coli strains to Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). In this study, 79 E. coli strains belonging to 35 serotypes isolated from wastewaters of both human and animal origin were examined for the presence of stx(2)-carrying bacteriophages in their genomes. The lytic cycle of the bacteriophages was induced by...
