The entire genome of pathogenicstrain 0157:H7 has been sequenced. All of the genomic DNA sequences present in 0157 and absent in the previously sequenced laboratory strain K12 are presented here.

Sequences of E. coli O157

The complete DNA sequence of three plasmids from the bacterium , the causative agent for bubonic plague, have been determined and are set forth. The open reading frames, or protein coding regions, of the plasmids have been determined. The DNA sequence and ORF information is useful for the creation of diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic tools for combating the disease caused by this agent.

Plasmid DNA from Yersinia pestis

The entire genome of pathogenic strain O157:H7 has been sequenced. All of the genomic DNA sequences present in O157 and absent in the previously sequenced laboratory strain K12 are presented here.
