Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.

Whole Genome Sequencing of an Unusual Serotype of Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli

open access: yesEmerging 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.

Identification and pathogenomic analysis of an Escherichia coli strain producing a novel Shiga toxin 2 subtype

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
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.
