E. coli 453 is a shigatoxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strain isolated from a deer faecal sample. It harbours a subAB allele that cannot be typed using the current subAB PCR subtyping scheme. T
Expected presence or absence of orthologs for target gene families and actual detection results for four organisms tested (E. coli O157:H7 EDL 933, S. enterica serovar paratyphi, S. saprophyticus. and
he collection of these mutations will be critical for researchers and clinicians to establish genotype/phenotype correlations. Other fields such as molecular epidemiology will also be developed using
