Induction of Shiga toxin (Stx)–2 by bovine antibiotic growth promoters (bAGPs) in Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains from cattle. The levels of Stx2 phage induction were examined with 0.1 µg/mL monensin (MON), tylosin (TYL), chlortetracycline (CTC), and oxytetracycline (OTC). ONT, O antigen nontypable. The results show means and SDs of 3 independent experiments. Statistical significance was analyzed by using the Student t-test. **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001.
