Abstract
Two Stx-converting phages, designated Stx1 phi and Stx2 phi-II, were isolated from an Escherichia coli O157:H7 strain, Morioka V526, and their entire nucleotide sequences were determined. The genomes of both phages were similar except for the stx gene-flanking regions. Comparing these phages to other known Stx-converting phages, we concluded that Stx1 phi is a novel Stx1-converting phage closely related to Stx2-converting phages so far reported.Entities:
