Grazing protozoa and the evolution of the Escherichia coli O157:H7 Shiga toxin-encoding prophage
Humans play little role in the epidemiology of Escherichia coli O157:H7, a commensal bacterium of cattle. Why then does E. coli O157:H7 code for virulence determinants, like the Shiga toxins (Stxs), responsible for the morbidity and mortality of colonized humans? One possibility is that the virulenc...
