Resumo

The presence of subAB was investigated for 3,453 Escherichia coli strains of various pathogenic categories. The occurrence of other virulence genes in subAB-positive strains was investigated. The subAB operon was detected among some Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) serotypes devoid of eae and carrying ehxA. Most subAB-positive strains also harbored stx2, iha, saa, and lpfA(O113).
