Pathogenic Factors of Shiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
The Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) are bacterial enteropathogens responsible for some intensive clinical syndromes such as bloody diarrhoea, hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, and renal failure. These pathotypes come under the Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) group.

Molecular surveillance of shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli in selected beef abattoirs in Osun State Nigeria [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
AbstractShiga toxigenic strains of E. coli (STEC) known to be etiological agents for diarrhea were screened for their incidence/occurrence in selected abattoirs sources in Osogbo metropolis of Osun State, Nigeria using a randomized block design. Samples were plated directly on selective and differential media and E. coli isolates.

Impact of Shiga-toxin encoding gene transduction from O80:H2 Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) on non-STEC strains. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2022
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are major foodborne pathogens that cause human diseases ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening complications including hemolytic–uremic syndrome. Virulence of STEC strains and their ability to cause severe

Evaluating disinfectant efficacy on mixed biofilms comprising Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli, lactic acid bacteria, and spoilage microorganisms. [PDF]

Front Microbiol
This study aimed to investigate the impact of temperature and the presence of other microorganisms on the susceptibility of STEC to biocides. Mature biofilms were formed at both 10°C and 25°C.

A New Family of Potent AB5 Cytotoxins Produced by Shiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

The Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2004
The Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) O113:H21 strain 98NK2, which was responsible for an outbreak of hemolytic uremic syndrome, secretes a highly potent and lethal subtilase cytotoxin that is unrelated to any bacterial toxin described to date. It is the prototype of a new family of AB5 toxins, comprising a single 35-kilodalton (kD) A subunit and

Prevalence of Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia coli in Bovine Manure in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the United States. [PDF]

Microorganisms
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a foodborne pathogen and known to reside naturally in cattle. The application of untreated biological soil amendments of animal origin on fresh produce fields results in unique food safety challenges.
