Abundance and Expression of Shiga Toxin Genes in Escherichia coli at the Recto-Anal Junction Relates to Host Immune Genes

Abundance and Expression of Shiga Toxin Genes in Escherichia coli at the Recto-Anal Junction Relates to Host Immune Genes

Shiga toxin (Stx) is the main virulence factor of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), and ruminants are the main reservoir of STEC. This study assessed the abundance and expression of Stx genes and the expression of host immune genes, aiming to determine factors affecting these measures a...
