Abstract excerpt
Fecal Escherichia (E.) coli strains from calves were tested for simply detectable phenotypical features associated with Shiga-like toxin (SLT) genes. DNA hybridization with SLT-specific oligonucleotide gene probes (detection of genes for SLT-I and SLT-II) was the "gold standard" for the evaluation of Vero cell cytotoxicity, fermentation of several saccharides, beta-D-glucuronidase activity and production of...
