Abstract

The antiterminator Q gene of bacteriophage 933W (Q₉₃₃) was identified upstream of the stx2 gene in 90% of human disease-origin Escherichia coli O157:H7 isolates and in 44.5% of bovine isolates. Shiga toxin production was higher in Q₉₃₃-positive isolates than Q₉₃₃-negative isolates. This genetic marker may provide a useful molecular tool for epidemiologic studies.
