Screening of an E. coli O157:H7 bacterial artificial chromosome library by comparative genomic hybridisation to identify genomic regions contributing to growth in bovine gastrointestinal mucus and epithelial cell colonizationn

Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) O157:H7 can cause serious gastrointestinal and systemic disease in humans following direct or indirect exposure to the bacterium excreted in ruminant feces. The main colonization site of EHEC O157:H7 in cattle is the terminal rectum where the bacteria intimately att...
