Molecular Characterization of the Enterohemolysin Gene (<i>ehxA</i>) in Clinical Shiga Toxin-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> Isolates

Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> (STEC) is an important foodborne pathogen with the ability to cause bloody diarrhea (BD) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Little is known about enterohemolysin-encoded by <i>ehxA</i>. Here we investigated the prevalence...
