Abstract excerpt
To determine the degree of heterogeneity among Shiga-like toxin-II (SLT-II)-related toxins present in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 strains, slt-IIB-related genes of 15 strains were amplified and sequenced. Of these 15 isolates, six contained only the slt-II-related genes, seven strains harbored slt-II-related genes together with slt-II, and two strains had slt-II-related genes plus slt-I. In strains...
