Whole Genome Sequencing of an Unusual Serotype of Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli

Whole Genome Sequencing of an Unusual Serotype of Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli

Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli serotype O117:K1:H7 is a cause of persistent diarrhea in travelers to tropical locations. Whole genome sequencing identified genetic mechanisms involved in the pathoadaptive phenotype. Sequencing also identified toxin and putative adherence genes flanked by seq...
