Virulence gene profiles and phylogeny of Shiga toxin-positive <i>Escherichia coli</i> strains isolated from FDA regulated foods during 2010-2017
2018-11-04
Abstract excerpt
Illnesses caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STECs) can be life threatening, such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The STECs most frequently identified by USDA’s Microbiological Data Program (MDP) carried toxin gene subtypes stx1a and/or stx2a . Here we describe the genome sequences of 331 STECs isolated from foods regulated by the FDA 2010-2017, determining their genomic identity, serotype, s...
