The locus of heat resistance (LHR) mediates heat resistance in Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae
Download2017-06-01
Mercer, Ryan G., Walker, Brian D., Yang, Xianqin, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
Enterobacteriaceae comprise food spoilage organisms as well as food-borne pathogens including Escherichia coli. Heat resistance in E. coli was attributed to a genomic island called the locus of heat resistance (LHR). This genomic island is also present in several other genera of...

Transduction of stx2a mediated by phage (Φ11-3088) from Escherichia coli O104:H4 in vitro and in situ during sprouting of mung beans
Download2022-12-16
Fang, Yuan, Brückner, Luisa Linda, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
Escherichia coli O104:H4 strain 11-3088 encoding Stx2a is epidemiologically related to the foodborne outbreak associated with sprouts in Germany, 2011. Sprouting provides suitable conditions for bacterial growth and may lead to transduction of non-pathogenic strains of E. coli with Stx phages....
