Although Escherichia coli can be an innocuous resident of the gastrointestinal tract, it also
has the pathogenic capacity to cause significant diarrheal and extraintestinal diseases …

Although extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are designated by their
isolation site and grouped based on the type of host and the disease they cause, most …

Abstract In the United States, it is estimated that non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing
Escherichia coli (STEC) cause more illnesses than STEC O157: H7, and the majority of …

Shiga toxins (Stx) of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are generally encoded
