Insights into the genome architecture and evolution of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages of Escherichia coli

BACKGROUND: A total of 179 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) complete genomes were analyzed in terms of serotypes, prophage coding regions, and stx gene variants and their distribution. We further examined the genetic diversity of Stx-converting phage genomes (Stx phages), focusing on th...
