A Shiga Toxin-Encoding Prophage Recombination Event Confounds the Phylogenetic Relationship Between Two Isolates of Escherichia coli O157:H7 From the Same Patient

A Shiga Toxin-Encoding Prophage Recombination Event Confounds the Phylogenetic Relationship Between Two Isolates of Escherichia coli O157:H7 From the Same Patient

We compared genomes from multiple isolations of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 from the same patient, in cases notified to Public Health England (PHE) between 2015 and 2019. There were 261 cases where multiple isolates were sequenced from the same patient comprising 589 isolat...
