Molecular characterization of the activity and requirements of a novel and promiscuous bacteriophage integrase

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Stx bacteriophages are responsible for the dissemination and production of Shiga toxin genes (stx) across the Shigatoxigenic E. coli (STEC). These toxigenic bacteriophage hosts can cause severe, life-threatening illness, and Shiga toxin (Stx) is responsible for the severe nature of EHEC infection, a subset of pathogenic STEC. At the point of Stx phage infection, the injected phage DNA can direct its integration in...
