Comparative genomics reveals structural and functional features specific to the genome of a foodborne Escherichia coli O157:H7

Abstract Background Escherichia coli O157:H7 (O157) has been linked to numerous foodborne disease outbreaks. The ability to rapidly sequence and analyze genomes is important for understanding epidemiology, virulence, survival, and evolution of outbreak strains. In the current study, we performed com...
