Comparative genomics reveals a lack of evidence for pigeons as a main source of stx(2f)-carrying Escherichia coli causing disease in humans and the common existence of hybrid Shiga toxin-producing and enteropathogenic E. coli pathotypes

BACKGROUND: Wild birds, in particular pigeons are considered a natural reservoir for stx(2f)-carrying E. coli. An extensive comparison of isolates from pigeons and humans from the same region is lacking, which hampers justifiable conclusions on the epidemiology of these pathogens. Over two hundred h...
