Abstract: Research has been conducted on Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains. The strains have been investigated for the presence of potassium tellurite resistance and the results indicate considerable plasticity in the presence, expression and location of the ter O islands in Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains.
