Shiga Toxin 2-Encoding Bacteriophages in Human Fecal Samples from Healthy Individuals

7 Jun 2013

Abstract excerpt

Shiga toxin-converting bacteriophages (Stx phages) carry the stx gene and convert nonpathogenic bacterial strains into Shiga toxin-producing bacteria. Previous studies have shown that high densities of free and infectious Stx phages are found in environments polluted with feces and also in food samples. Taken together, these two findings suggest that Stx phages could be excreted through feces, but this has not...
