Summary

It is found that lateral gene transfer is far more extensive than previously anticipated and 1,387 new genes encoded in strain-specific clusters of diverse sizes were found in O157:H7, including candidate virulence factors, alternative metabolic capacities, several prophages and other new functions—all of which could be targets for surveillance.
