Carriage of stx2a Differentiates Clinical and Bovine-Biased Strains of Escherichia coli O157

BACKGROUND: 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-biased genotypes (...
