Evolution of Enterohemorrhagic<i>Escherichia coli</i>Hemolysin Plasmids and the Locus for Enterocyte Effacement in Shiga Toxin-Producing<i>E. coli</i>
1 Jun 1998
Abstract excerpt
This study assessed the diversity of the enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) hemolysin gene (ehxA) in a variety of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) serotypes and the relationship between ehxA types and virulence markers on the locus for enterocyte effacement (LEE). Restriction fragment length polymorphism of the ehxA gene and flanking sequences and of the E. coli attaching and effacing (eae) gene was...
