Genomic analysis of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 from cattle and pork-production related environments

Abstract Three E. coli O157:H7 outbreaks have been attributed to contaminated pork in Alberta, Canada, recently. This study investigates the phylogenetic relatedness of E. coli O157:H7 from pigs, cattle, and pork-production environments for source attribution. Limited strain diversity was observed u...
