Abstract
Characterization of Shigella sonnei Isolate Carrying Shiga Toxin 2-Producing Gene.
Highlights
Stx-converting bacteriophages play a key role in expression of the stx gene in E. coli and in the lateral gene transfer between the bacteria (4)
The stx[1] gene, which is located in a bacteriophage, has previously been detected in S. sonnei (6)
We describe an S. sonnei isolate with the stx2a gene
Summary
Stx-converting bacteriophages play a key role in expression of the stx gene in E. coli and in the lateral gene transfer between the bacteria (4). These bacteriophages have not been isolated from S. dysenteriae serotype 1, evidence suggests that the bacteria’s stx gene may be associated with a bacteriophage (5). The stx[1] gene, which is located in a bacteriophage, has previously been detected in S. sonnei (6). We describe an S. sonnei isolate with the stx2a gene.
