Lability of the pAA Virulence Plasmid in Escherichia coli O104:H4: Implications for Virulence in Humans.
<label>BACKGROUND</label>Escherichia coli O104:H4 that caused the large German outbreak in 2011 is a highly virulent hybrid of enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) and enteroaggregative (EAEC) E. coli. The strain displays "stacked-brick" aggregative adherence to human intestinal epithelial...
