Cytolethal Distending Toxin in Escherichia coli O157:H7: Spectrum of Conservation, Structure, and Endothelial Toxicity

We identified the cytolethal distending toxin V (CDT-V) gene cluster in 19 (4.9%) of 391 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7. cdt-V(+) strains belonged to five phage types (PTs) and were most frequent within PTs 14 and 34. CDT-V was expressed in all but two cdt-V(+) strains and was lethal to...
