Abstract excerpt
Shiga toxin (Stx) can be classified into two types, Stx1 and Stx2, and different subtypes. Stx2e is a subtype commonly causing porcine edema disease and rarely reported in humans. The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence and genetic characteristics of Stx2e-producing Escherichia coli (Stx2e-STEC) strains from humans compared to strains from animals and meats in China. Stx2e-STEC strains were...
