Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To compare 167 Norwegian human and nonhuman Escherichia coli O157:H7/NM (nonmotile) isolates with respect to an A/T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the tir gene and to detect specific SNPs that differentiate STEC O157 into distinct virulence clades (1-3 and 8). METHODS AND RESULTS: We developed a multiplex PCR followed by single base sequencing for detection of the SNPs, and examined the association...
