Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, like E. coli O157:H7, are important human and animal pathogens. Naturally-acquired E. coli O157:H7 infections occur in numerous species but, particularly, cattle have been identified as a significant reservoir for ...

Shiga toxin production and translocation during microaerobic human colonic infection with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O157:H7 and O104:H4 [PDF]
Haemolytic uraemic syndrome caused by Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) is dependent on release of Shiga toxins (Stxs) during intestinal infection and subsequent absorption into the bloodstream.

ABSTRACT Foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella pose a significant threat to public health and an economic burden to manufacturers. Edible coating solutions, made from edible materials, have emerged as an alternative approach in controlling food spoilage as well as extending food shelf life.

Study of the Effects of High-Energy Proton Beams on Escherichia Coli [PDF]
Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection becomes one of the most serious risks to public health care today. However, discouragingly, the development of new antibiotics has been little progressed over the last decade. There is an urgent need of the alternative approaches to treat the antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

ABSTRACT Addition of antimicrobials to water used for irrigation of fresh produce is recommended to reduce microbial food safety risks. However, there remains a need to validate the efficacy of antimicrobials in irrigation water using the microbial strains and methods recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Isolation of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7/NM from hamburger and chicken nugget
Aims: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence rate, virulence genes and antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli O157:H7/NM isolated from hamburger and chicken nugget in Isfahan, Iran. Material and Methods: From June 2013 to July 2013, a

Dynamic detection of a single bacterium: nonlinear rotation rate shifts of driven magnetic microsphere stages [PDF]
We report on a new technique which was used to detect single Escherichia coli that is based on the changes in the nonlinear rotation of a magnetic microsphere driven by an external magnetic field. The presence of one Escherichia Coli bacterium on the surface of a 2.0 micron magnetic microsphere caused an easily measurable change in the drag of the ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Reducing the prevalence of Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an important responsibility of provincial abattoirs to ensure safe products are entering the human food chain. Currently, within Ontario, provincial abattoirs are mandated to apply various antimicrobial treatments to cattle carcasses to help decrease ...
