Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli plasmid diversity reveals virulence potential and control opportunities in animal hosts

Abstract Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a significant public health concern, with plasmids playing a key role in its pathogenicity. This study investigates the relationship between plasmid types, virulence genes, and host specificity in 96 STEC strains isolated from cattle, sheep,...
