Virulence of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O91:H21 clinical isolates in an orally infected mouse model
1 Sept 1993

Escherichia coli K-12 strains producing high levels of Shiga-like toxin type II (SLT-II) but not SLT-I were previously shown to be virulent in an orally infected, streptomycin-treated mouse model.
