Physicochemical properties of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2005
To investigate the physicochemical surface properties, such as cellular surface charge, hydrophobicity and electron donor/acceptor potential of a selection of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) isolates grown in broth and agar culture.Cellular surface charge was determined using zeta potential measurements.

Attachment of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli to stainless steel

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2007
Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) are important foodborne pathogens causing gastrointestinal disease worldwide. Bacterial attachment to food surfaces, such as stainless steel may lead to cross contamination of foods and subsequent foodborne disease. A variety of STEC isolates, including E. coli O157:H7/H- strains, were grown in planktonic (broth)

Isolation of shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli from raw beef in Palestine

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2004
Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) isolated from raw beef samples in northern Palestine during a 1-year period were characterized for virulence genes by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and screened for their antibiotic resistance. STEC was identified in 44 (14.7%) of 300 raw beef samples.

Carriage of Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli by native marsupials in Australia

Veterinary Microbiology, 2012
Shiga-toxigenic strains of Escherichia coli (STEC) are zoonotic pathogens with human health, meat processing and trade impacts. Cattle are the principal reservoirs of STEC, although other animals can be carriers. The STEC status of Australian native marsupials has not been formatively described to date.

Haemolytic uraemic syndrome in India due to Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2013
The emergence of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) as a causative agent of diarrhoea, haemorrhagic colitis and haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) in humans is a significant public health concern worldwide. Here we describe a case of HUS following dysentery due to STEC.

Detection of Shiga toxigenic (STEC) and enteropathogenic (EPEC) Escherichia coli in dairy buffalo

Veterinary Microbiology, 2014
Enteropathogenic (EPEC) and Shiga toxigenic (STEC) Escherichia coli are among the bacteria most associated with enteric diseases in man. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of STEC and EPEC in dairy buffalo and then characterize these isolates genetically.

The Non-O157 Shiga-Toxigenic (Verocytotoxigenic)Escherichia coli; Under-Rated Pathogens

Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2007
Following a brief review of the ecology of Escherichia coli in general, the role of Shiga-Toxigenic (Verocytotoxigenic) E. coli (STEC) as pathogens is addressed. While STEC belonging to the serogroup O157 have been extensively studied and shown to be involved in many cases and outbreaks of human disease, the importance of STEC belonging to other ...

Prevalence of Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli in House Flies (Diptera: Muscidae) in an Urban Environment

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2017
House flies (Musca domestica L. [Diptera: Muscidae]) can act as a mechanical vector for food-borne pathogens including Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (Migula; Enterobacteriales: Enterobacteriaceae) (STEC) in and around cattle feedlots. The present study assessed the prevalence of STEC in house flies from a restaurant area of a town in ...

A longitudinal study of Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) prevalence in three Australian dairy herds

Veterinary Microbiology, 2000
Over a 12 month period, 588 cattle faecal samples and 147 farm environmental samples from three dairy farms in southeast Queensland were examined for the presence of Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC). Samples were screened for Shiga toxin gene (stx) using PCR.

Characterisation and clonal relationships of Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) isolated from Australian dairy cattle

Veterinary Microbiology, 2001
A total of 136 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) isolated during a longitudinal survey of three Australian dairy farms were examined to determine their virulence factors, serotype and genomic relationships. This study aimed to assess the potential of these STEC to cause disease in humans and to analyse the on-farm ecology of STEC. Virulence
