Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) outbreaks are commonly associated with contaminated food sources. Unlike normal intestinal bacteria, EHEC are lysogens of lambdoid bacteriophages that also carry a gene for Shiga toxin. Oxidative attack by the immune system or other stressors on the bacterial host can activate the lytic pathway of the latent phage genome to produce phage progeny and the release of Shiga toxin into the surrounding tissues. Within the genomes of bacteriophage λ and Shiga toxin-expressing (Stx+) phages such as φ24
