Abstract
In conclusion, the successful lysogenic conversion of aEPEC with a stx-phage in vitro underlines the important role of aEPEC as progenitors of EHEC. Given the high prevalence and the wide host range of aEPEC acceptors, their high risk of zoonotic transmission should be recognized in infection control measures.
