STEC O157 intrafamily infection
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 strains originated from four indivisuals in one family were genome-sequenced by Ion Torrent S5 platform using 318 v2 chip. The goal of this project was to identify and characterize genomic alteration of the STEC O157 cells during human infection and/or human to human transmission events.
