Detection of virulence gene of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains from animals with diarrhoea and water samples in the North-West Province, South Africa
Background: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains have the potential to produce Shiga-toxins, which may lead to enterohemorrhagic diarrhoea and kidney failure in individuals. Moreover, virulence genes of E. coli correlate to their pathogenic nature causing severe morbidity and mortal...
