Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (<it>stx</it>) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, life-threatening disease and Stx toxin i...
