Role for a phage promoter in Shiga toxin 2 expression from a pathogenic Escherichia coli strain

Shiga toxins (Stxs), encoded by the stxA and stxB genes, are important contributors to the virulence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and other Stx-producing E. coli (STEC) strains. The stxA and stxB genes in STEC strains are located on the genomes of resident prophages of the lambda family immediately d...
