Replication Region Analysis Reveals Non-lambdoid Shiga Toxin Converting Bacteriophages
18 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Shiga toxin is the major virulence factor of enterohemorrhagicEscherichia coli(EHEC), and the gene encoding it is carried within the genome of Shiga toxin-converting phages (Stx phages). Numerous Stx phages have been sequenced to gain a better understanding of their contribution to the virulence potential of EHEC. The Stx phages are classified into the lambdoid phage family based on similarities in lifestyle,...
