Adaptive radioresistance of Enterohemorrhagic <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157:H7 results in genomic loss of shiga toxin-encoding prophages
2022-08-11
Abstract excerpt
Enterohemorragic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 is a foodborne pathogen producing shiga toxins (Stx1 and Stx2), can cause hemorrhagic diarrhea, and life-threatening infections. O157:H7 strain EDL933 carries prophages CP-933V and BP-933W that encode shiga toxin genes ( stx1 and stx2 respectively). The aim of this work was to investigate the mechanisms of adaptive resistance of EHEC strain EDL933 to a typically...
