Makoto Ohnishi et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 99:17043-17048 (2002) Supporting Information Diversification of Escherichia coli genomes: are bacteriophages the major contributors? Makoto Ohnishi, Ken Kurokawa and Tetsuya Hayashi Trends in Microbiology 9:481-485 (2001) Supplementary Information Genome sequence and comparative analysis of enterohemorrhagic E.coli O157:H7 Tetsuya Hayashi et al. DNA Research 8:11-22 (2001) Supplementary Information     Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a major food-borne infectious pathogen that causes diarrhea, haemorrhagic colitis, and haemolytic uremic syndrome. We have determined the genome sequence of an O157:H7 strain isolated from the Sakai outbreak which occurred in 1996 in Sakai City, Osaka Pref. Japan.
