Subtilase Cytotoxin-Encoding <i>subAB</i> Operon Found Exclusively among Shiga Toxin-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> Strains
21 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
The presence of subAB was investigated for 3,453 Escherichia coli strains of various pathogenic categories. The occurrence of other virulence genes in subAB-positive strains was investigated. The subAB operon was detected among some Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) serotypes devoid of eae and carrying ehxA. Most subAB-positive strains also harbored stx2, iha, saa, and lpfA(O113).
