Abstract
Bacterial interspersed mosaic elements (BIMEs) are small, highly repetitive sequences found throughout the E. coli genome. Initial studies in this Department using this approach showed great potential in genotyping E. coli strains with high resolution and large throughput. This proposal seeks to develop this technique further by genotyping enterohaemorrhagic (EHEC) E. coli isolates from ruminants, with follow up phenotypic and genotypic characterisation an to determine interrelationships in carriage between EHEC and non-EHEC strains.
