Abstract excerpt
The sharing of genome sequences in online data repositories, allows for large scale analyses of specific genes or gene families. This can result in the detection of novel gene subtypes as well as development of improved detection methods. Here we used publicly available WGS data to detect a novel Stx subtype, Stx2n in two clinical E. coli strains isolated in the USA. During this process, additional Stx2 subtypes w...
