title: Nucleotide sequence of the integration site of the temperate bacteriophage 6220, which carries the Shiga toxin gene stx(1ox3).
abstract: The integration site, attR, of the Shiga toxin-encoding phage 6220 (stx(1ox3)) has been determined. The phage integrates into the chromosome of its Escherichia coli host strain, CB6220, within a gene that is homologous to gene Z2577 and encodes an oxidoreductase. This new integration site was found in different Stx1ox3-producing enterohemorrhagic E. coli strains, which were analyzed by PCR.
