Characterising the adsorption process of the shigatoxigenic bacteriophage, φ24B, to its bacterial host via an essential outer-membrane protein, BamA

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli is a common commensal organism that is present in all human digestive tracts. When E. coli is infected by a bacteriophage containing Shiga toxin genes (Stx phage), the E. coli cell is converted into a pathogen that can cause serious harm to humans in the form of Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (HUS) or Thrombotic, Thrombocytopaenic Purpura (TTP). It has been shown that ~70% of environmental Stx phages...
