Escherichia coli O157:H7 Strain Origin, Lineage, and Shiga Toxin 2 Expression Affect Colonization of Cattle
13 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 has evolved into an important human pathogen with cattle as the main reservoir. The recent discovery of E. coli O157:H7-induced pathologies in challenged cattle has suggested that previously discounted bacterial virulence factors may contribute to the colonization of cattle. The objective of the present study was to examine the impact of lineage type, cytotoxin activity,...
