Shiga toxin-producingEscherichia coli (STEC) O111:NM is an important serotype that has been incriminated in disease outbreaks in the United States. This study characterized cattle STEC O111:NM for virulence factors and markers by PCR. Major conclusions are that STEC O111:NM characterized in this study lacksstx 2 and the full spectrum ofnle gene markers, and it has an incomplete OI-122.
