Differences in adherence and virulence gene expression between two outbreak strains of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 : H7

Abstract excerpt

The Escherichia coli O157 : H7 TW14359 strain was implicated in a multi-state outbreak in North America in 2006, which resulted in high rates of severe disease. Similarly, the O157 : H7 RIMD0509952 (Sakai) strain caused the largest O157 : H7 outbreak to date. Both strains were shown to represent divergent phylogenetic lineages. Here we compared global gene expression patterns before and after epithelial cell...
