Main Article

Figure 3

Long PCR analysis of the VT2f phage of verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) strains isolated from fecal samples from humans with hemolytic uremic syndrome (EF467, EF476, EF453) and from pigeon feces (ED363, ED377). Numbers at left indicate bps; lane numbers indicate PCR 1 to PCR 4. The expected size of the amplicons were 6,331 bp (PCR 1), 8,166 bp (PCR 2), 3,927 bp (PCR 3), and 8,808 bp (PCR 4).
