Susceptibility to lysogeny was scored positive only if infective phage particles were released upon induction of putative lysogens (i.e., kanamycin-resistant colonies) using norfloxacin or UV induction and if the expected 2.2-kb fragment could be amplified using VT2A primers.
All strains were typed by Colindale Public Health Laboratories, London, United Kingdom.
Strains supplied by The Rowett Research Institute.
Strains supplied by The Robert Koch Institute.
Strains supplied by The University of Liverpool.
NT, nontypeable.
Strain F172 (O107) was also susceptible to lysis.
ETEC, enterotoxigenic E. coli.
EIEC, enteroinvasive E. coli.
