Plasmids from Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Strains with Rare Enterohemolysin Gene (ehxA) Subtypes Reveal Pathogenicity Potential and Display a Novel Evolutionary Path

November 2016

Authors:
Sandra C. Lorenz, Steven R. Monday, Maria Hoffmann, Markus Fischer and Julie A. Kase

Info:
Scientists from the US FDA and the University of Hamburg used PacBio sequencing to characterize plasmids associated with heightened virulence in Shiga toxin-producing E. coli strains. They used BluePippin size selection to produce 20 kb libraries for sequencing.
