Virulence of Shigatoxigenic and Enteropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> O80:H2 in <i>Galleria mellonella</i> Larvae: Comparison of the Roles of the pS88 Plasmids and STX2d Phage

Virulence of Shigatoxigenic and Enteropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> O80:H2 in <i>Galleria mellonella</i> Larvae: Comparison of the Roles of the pS88 Plasmids and STX2d Phage

The invasiveness properties of Shigatoxigenic and enteropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (STEC and EPEC) O80:H2 in humans and calves are encoded by genes located on a pS88-like ColV conjugative plasmid. The main objectives of this study in larvae of the <i>Galleria mellonella<...
