Escherichia coli O157:H7 tir 255 T > A allele strains differ in chromosomal and plasmid composition

Escherichia coli O157:H7 tir 255 T > A allele strains differ in chromosomal and plasmid composition

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 strains with the T allele in the translocated intimin receptor polymorphism (tir) 255 A > T gene associate with human disease more than strains with an A allele; however, the allele is not thought to be the direct cause of this difference....
