Switching Shiga Toxin (Stx) Type from Stx2d to Stx2a but Not Stx2c Alters Virulence of Stx-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> (STEC) Strain B2F1 in Streptomycin (Str)-Treated Mice
Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> (STEC) strain B2F1 produces Stx type 2d, a toxin that becomes more toxic towards Vero cells in the presence of intestinal mucus. STEC that make Stx2d are more pathogenic to streptomycin (Str)-treated mice than most STEC that produce Stx...
