Association of EnterohemorrhagicEscherichia coliHemolysin with Serotypes of Shiga-Like-Toxin-ProducingEscherichia coliof Human and Bovine Origins
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
In this study we investigated whether the enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) hemolysin gene ehxA could be used as an indicator of pathogenicity in Shiga-like-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (SLTEC) isolates. The isolates in a collection of 770 SLTEC strains of human and bovine origins were assigned to group 1 (230 human and 138 bovine SLTEC isolates belonging to serotypes frequently implicated in human...
