Genome engineering of Stx1-and Stx2-converting bacteriophages unveils the virulence of the dairy isolate Escherichia coli O174:H2 strain UC4224
1. Introduction Infections caused by Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are responsible for outbreaks of serious diseases such as haemorrhagic colitis (HC) and haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), posing a serious public health concern (Pedersen et al., 2018). In 2020, 28 European countries reported 4,824 confirmed cases of infection with E. coli STEC and thus, recognized as the fourth most reported zoonosis (ECDC, 2022).
