Genetic Diversity among Clonal Lineages within Escherichia coli O157:H7 Stepwise Evolutionary Model

Genetic Diversity among Clonal Lineages within Escherichia coli O157:H7 Stepwise Evolutionary Model

Escherichia coli O157:H7 variants were examined for trait mutations and by molecular subtyping to better define clonal complexes postulated on the O157:H7 evolution model. Strains of β-glucuronidase–positive, sorbitol-negative O157:H7 isolated in United States and Japan were identical to A5 clonal s...
