Diverse Virulence Gene Content of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli from Finishing Swine
9 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections are a critical public health concern because they can cause severe clinical outcomes, such as hemolytic uremic syndrome, in humans. Determining the presence or absence of virulence genes is essential in assessing the potential pathogenicity of STEC strains. Currently, there is limited information about the virulence genes carried by swine STEC strains;...
