The Prophage and Us-Shiga Toxin Phages Revisited

Herbert Schmidt et al. Pathogens. .

Abstract

The authors first met in 1998 at the University of Würzburg, Germany, at the Institute of Hygiene and Microbiology, in Helge Karch's lab, where Herbert Schmidt worked as a PostDoc and Maite Muniesa visited the lab for a postdoctoral research stay to work on phages encoding Shiga toxin 2e (Stx2e) [...].
