Carriage of stx2a differentiates clinical and bovine-biased strains of Escherichia coli O157.
<h4>Background</h4>Shiga toxin (Stx) are cardinal virulence factors of enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 (EHEC O157). The gene content and genomic insertion sites of Stx-associated bacteriophages differentiate clinical genotypes of EHEC O157 (CG, typical of clinical isolates) from bovine...
