Natural Variation in Escherichia coli O157:H7

Objective

Sequence information of Escherichia coli O157:H7 will provide unique insights into the evolution, survival, and growth of this pathogen with respect to its virulence factors. Proposed research should initiate a pathway to the eventual development of rapid and sensitive methods for detection, identification, and enumeration of this important pathogen.
