Since the emergence of this serotype in the 1980s, research has focussed on unravelling the evolutionary events from the <i>E. coli</i> O55:H7 ancestor to the contemporaneous globally dispersed strains observed today. In this study, the genomes of over 1000 isolates from both human clinical cases and cattle, spanning the history of STEC O157:H7 in the UK, were sequenc ...[more]
