Impact of Shiga-toxin encoding gene transduction from O80:H2 Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) on non-STEC strains

Impact of Shiga-toxin encoding gene transduction from O80:H2 Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) on non-STEC strains

Abstract Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are major foodborne pathogens that cause human diseases ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening complications including hemolytic–uremic syndrome.
