Genomic Characterization of Two Shiga Toxin–Converting Bacteriophages Induced From Environmental Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli

Shiga toxin (Stx), encoded by stx genes located in prophage sequences, is the major agent responsible for the pathogenicity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and is closely associated with the development of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Although numerous Stx prophage sequences hav...
