Role of a 60-megadalton plasmid and Shiga-like toxins in the pathogenesis of infection caused by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 in gnotobiotic piglets.

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) of serotype O157:H7 has two putative virulence factors: (i) a fimbrial adhesin, specified by a 60-megadalton (MDa) plasmid, and (ii) bacteriophage-specified cytotoxin(s), known as Shiga-like toxin (SLT) or verotoxin. The contribution of these factors to the...
