Characterization of Shiga toxin 2a encoding bacteriophages isolated from high-virulent O145:H25 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli.
To describe phage characteristics associated with high virulence we extracted the Stx2a phage sequences from eight Norwegian O145:H25 STEC to conduct in-depth molecular characterization using long and short read sequencing. The Stx2a phages were annotated, characterized and compared with previously published Stx2a phages of different serotypes.
