Article Synopsis
- Shiga toxin (Stx), produced by Stx-producing E. coli (STEC), is crucial for the bacteria's virulence and is encoded by bacteriophages known as Stx phages.
- A study focusing on the O26:H11 STEC lineage (specifically ST21) revealed significant genetic diversity among Stx1a phages, indicating various evolutionary changes, including the replacement of phages.
- Additionally, the research showed notable differences in Stx1 toxin production linked to variations in Stx1 phages and host factors, emphasizing the complexity of phage-host interactions in toxin production.
