Prevalence of Shiga-toxigenic <em>Escherichia coli</em> in Mauritian dairy cattle
Revue d’élevage et de médecine vétérinaire des pays tropicaux, 2015 Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) are important human pathogens (1). They are characterized by their ability to produce Shiga toxins (stx1 and stx2). Seven STEC have been shown to withstand food processing procedures that are expected to ensure food safety. Clinical symptoms associated with STEC infection can vary from abdominal cramps and acute

Zinc protects against shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli by acting on host tissues as well as on bacteria [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2014 Zinc supplements can treat or prevent enteric infections and diarrheal disease. Many articles on zinc in bacteria, however, highlight the essential nature of this metal for bacterial growth and virulence, suggesting that zinc should make infections worse, not better.

Role of Host Xanthine Oxidase in Infection Due to Enteropathogenic and Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 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 ...

Fate of non O157 Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli in composted cattle manure [PDF]
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2007 To determine the fate of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) non-O 157 in composted manure from naturally colonized cattle, fresh manure was obtained from three cows carrying non-O157 STEC strains possessing the stx2 gene. Two composting systems were used: a 0.6m deep cave opened in the soil and an one meter high solid manure heap in a pyramidal ...

In vitro studies on the colonization of bovine colonic mucosa by Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) [PDF]
Epidemiology and Infection, 2004 This study investigated host-related factors that influence intestinal colonization by Shiga-toxigenic E. coli (STEC). A quantitative colonization assay was developed to comparatively measure attachment of STEC to bovine colonic tissues maintained in vitro.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2011 Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 uses a myriad of surface adhesive appendages including pili, flagella, and the type 3 secretion system (T3SS) to adhere to and inflict damage to the human gut mucosa. Consumption of contaminated ground beef,

Atypical Presentation of Shiga Toxin Haemolytic Uremic Syndrome (STEC-HUS) [PDF]
Revista Portuguesa de Nefrologia e Hipertensão, 2022 Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infection is the most common cause of haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in children. It should be noted that 5% of STEC-HUS patients have no prodromal diarrhoea, while it may be present in up to 30% of ...
