The effect of antimicrobials on verocytotoxin bacteriophage transduction under bovine rumen fluid and broth conditions
The verocytotoxin genes in verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) are carried by bacteriophages, incorporated into the bacterial genome (prophage). Antibiotics may promote phage replication and release to infect other cells (transduction), thus leading to the emergence of new VTEC strains. This s...
