Genetic and virulence characteristics of hybrid shiga toxin-producing and atypical enteropathogenic escherichia coli strains isolated in south korea

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic structure and evaluate the virulence potential of hybrid STEC/aEPEC strains isolated from livestock feces, animal source foods, and water in South Korea. The outcomes of the investigation , involving 32 hybrid STEC/aEPEC strains, are presented Frontiers in Microbiology This study aimed to elucidate the genomic relationships between STEC/aEPEC hybrids and other pathogenic E. coli strains. This study investigated the transfer of virulence genes in hybrid STEC/aEPEC strains identified in South Korea, emphasizing the efficacy of WGS as a robust method for scrutinizing bacterial . . .
