Shiga Toxin (Stx) Phage-Encoded Lytic Genes Are Not Required for the Mouse Virulence of O157:H7 Escherichia coli Stx2-Producing Clinical Isolates

ABSTRACT Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a major cause of foodborne diarrheal illness in the United States and globally, and serotype O157:H7 is frequently associated with STEC outbreaks and sporadic cases in the United States. Severe systemic diseases associated with STEC are...
