Abstract excerpt
We compared a collection of sorbitol-fermenting (SF) Escherichia coli O157:H- strains with SF E. coli O157:H45 and non-SF E. coli O157:H7 and E. coli O157:H- strains by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The SF E. coli O157:H- strains had identical or closely related XbaI patterns that differed ma...
