2023-09-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objectives</h4> Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is responsible for the most severe symptoms of E. coli infections, including hemorrhagic colitis and hemorrhagic uremic syndrome. Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) plays a significant role as a major virulence factor. The genes encoding Stx2 locate in lambda-like prophage on the EHEC genome. Consequently, Stx2 is expressed when production of the phage is induced...
