Molecular and Genomic Analysis of the Virulence Factors and Potential Transmission of Hybrid Enteropathogenic and Enterotoxigenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (EPEC/ETEC) Strains Isolated in South Korea

Molecular and Genomic Analysis of the Virulence Factors and Potential Transmission of Hybrid Enteropathogenic and Enterotoxigenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (EPEC/ETEC) Strains Isolated in South Korea

Hybrid strains <i>Escherichia coli</i> acquires genetic characteristics from multiple pathotypes and is speculated to be more virulent; however, understanding their pathogenicity is elusive. Here, we performed genome-based characterization of the hybrid of enteropathogenic (EPEC) and ent...
