Whole genome sequencing for public health surveillance of Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia coli other than serogroup O157

Whole genome sequencing for public health surveillance of Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia coli other than serogroup O157

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are considered to be a significant threat to public health due to the severity of gastrointestinal symptoms associated with human infection. In England STEC O157 is the most commonly detected STEC serogroup, however, the implementation of PCR at local h...
