Virulence Characteristics and Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Shiga Toxin-Producing <i>Escherichia</i> <i>coli</i> Isolates from Humans in South Africa: 2006–2013

Virulence Characteristics and Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Shiga Toxin-Producing <i>Escherichia</i> <i>coli</i> Isolates from Humans in South Africa: 2006–2013

Shiga toxin-producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> (STEC) isolates (N = 38) that were incriminated in human disease from 2006 to 2013 in South Africa were characterized by serotype, virulence-associated genes, antimicrobial resistance and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The isolates...
