Identification and pathogenomic analysis of an Escherichia coli strain producing a novel Shiga toxin 2 subtype
Abstract Shiga toxin (Stx) is the key virulent factor in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). To date, three Stx1 subtypes and seven Stx2 subtypes have been described in E. coli, which differed in receptor preference and toxin potency. Here, we identified a novel Stx2 subtype designated St...
