Identification of Genetic Markers for Differentiation of Shiga Toxin-Producing, Enteropathogenic, and Avirulent Strains ofEscherichia coliO26
12 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O26 is one of the top five enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) O groups most often associated with hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) worldwide. STEC O26 is considered to have evolved from enteropathogenic (EPEC) O26 strains through the acquisition of Shiga toxin (Stx)-encoding genes. Our PCR data identified several STEC-like strains expressing all...
