Transmission and quantification of verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 in dairy cattle and calves [PDF]
Data from a field study of 14 months duration in a naturally colonized dairy herd and data from an experiment with calves were used to quantify transmission of verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC O157) in cattle.

Whole Genome Sequencing of an Unusual Serotype of Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013 Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli serotype O117:K1:H7 is a cause of persistent diarrhea in travelers to tropical locations. Whole genome sequencing identified genetic mechanisms involved in the pathoadaptive phenotype.

Characterizing RecA-Independent Induction of Shiga toxin2-encoding Phages by EDTA Treatment [PDF]
, 2013 The bacteriophage life cycle has an important role in Shiga toxin (Stx) expression. The induction of Shiga toxin-encoding phages (Stx phages) increases toxin production as a result of replication of the phage genome, and phage lysis of the host cell also

Applying phylogenomics to understand the emergence of Shiga Toxin producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains causing severe human disease in the United Kingdom [PDF]
, 2015 Shiga Toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 is a recently emerged zoonotic pathogen with considerable morbidity. Since the serotype emerged in the 1980s, research has focussed on unravelling the evolutionary events from the E.
