SMRT sequencing reveals differential patterns of methylation in two O111:H- Shiga toxigenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolates from a historic hemolytic uremic syndrome outbreak in Australia

Abstract excerpt
Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) are important food-borne pathogens and a major cause of haemorrhagic colitis and haemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) worldwide. In 1995 a severe HUS outbreak in Adelaide occurred. A recent genomic analysis of STEC O111:H-strains 95JB1 and 95NR1 from this outbreak found that the more virulent isolate, 95NR1, harboured two additional copies of the Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) genes alth...
