Söderlund, Robert; Hedenström, I; Nilsson, Anna; Eriksson, Erik; Aspán, AnnaAbstract
Conclusions: The same pathogenic subtypes of VTEC O157:H7, including the highly virulent clade 8, appear to be present in both sheep and cattle in Sweden, suggesting strains can circulate freely between ruminant reservoirs.Keywords
