Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 is implicated in serious food and water-borne diseases as hemorrhagic colitis (HC), and the potentially fatal hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). However, new players of non-O157 EHEC have been implicated in serious infections worldwide. This work aims at analyzing serotype and genotypic-based virulence profile of EHEC local isolates. METHODS: A total of 335...
