Virulence inhibition by zinc in shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Infect Immun, 2011 ABSTRACT Previously, our laboratories reported that zinc inhibited expression of several important virulence factors in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and reduced EPEC-induced intestinal damage in vivo .

Role of host xanthine oxidase in infection due to enteropathogenic and Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Infect Immun, 2013 ABSTRACT Xanthine oxidase (XO), also known as xanthine oxidoreductase, has long been considered an important host defense molecule in the intestine and in breastfed infants. Here, we present evidence that XO is released from and active in intestinal tissues and fluids in response to infection with enteropathogenic ...

Mechanism of inhibition of Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli SubAB cytotoxicity by steroids and diacylglycerol analogues. [PDF]
Cell Death Discov, 2018 AbstractShiga toxigenicEscherichia coli(STEC) are responsible for a worldwide foodborne disease, which is characterized by severe bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB) is a novel AB5toxin, which is produced by Locus for Enterocyte Effacement (LEE)-negative STEC.

Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli O157 in Agricultural Fair Livestock, United States
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 Agricultural fairs exhibiting livestock are increasingly implicated in human Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (STEC O157:H7) outbreaks. To estimate livestock STEC O157:H7 prevalence at US fairs, we collected 2,919 fecal specimens at 29 county ...
