Carriage of Shiga toxin phage profoundly affects Escherichia coli gene expression and carbon source utilization

Abstract Background Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (E. coli) are intestinal pathogenic bacteria that cause life-threatening disease in humans. Their cardinal virulence factor is Shiga toxin (Stx), which is encoded on lambdoid phages integrated in the chromosome. Stx phages can infect and lysogen...
