This organism's genome acquired a virulence factor from the 933W prophage.
This organism's genome acquired a virulence factor from the 933W prophage. One product of thisorganism, which is named for a different bacterium, is a toxin whose A subunit cleaves the 28Sribosomal RNA and whose B subunit binds to globo-tri-aosyl-ceramide. Children infected by thisorganism can suffer from a form of kidney failure similar to TTP called hemolytic-uremic syndrome.Unusually for its species, it fails the Sereny invasion test, it cannot grow in 0.15% bile salts, and it doesnot ferment (*) sorbitol. It's not Shigella, but this organism has the ability to produce shiga-like toxin.For 10 points, name this infectious gram-negative bacterium, which has the serotype O157:H7, istransmitted by undercooked hamburgers, and causes bloody diarrhea.

Escherichia coli O157:H7 [or Enterohemorrhagic E. coli; you only need E. coli, but all of the clues refer to O157:H7; accept just O157:H7 before mention]
