Abstract excerpt
Strains of the recently reported Stx2k-STEC have been circulating in a variety of sources over time in China. Here, we show a high prevalence of Stx2k-STEC in goat herds. More than half of the strains were of the hybrid STEC/ETEC pathotype. Stx2k-STEC strains of predominant serotypes have been widespread in the goat herds over several years. Stx2k-converting prophages have exhibited a high level of similarity...
