Prophage-dependent recombination drives genome structural variation and phenotypic heterogeneity in <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157:H7

2020-12-02

Abstract excerpt

The human zoonotic pathogen Escherichia coli O157 is defined by its extensive prophage repertoire including those that encode Shiga toxin, the factor responsible for inducing life-threatening pathology in humans. As well as introducing genes that can contribute to the virulence of a strain, prophage can enable the generation of large-chromosomal rearrangements (LCRs) by homologous recombination. This work examine...
