Identification of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli seropathotypes A and B by multiplex PCR

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Probes, 2007
A multiplex PCR assay was developed to identify the six clinically important enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) serotypes classified in seropathotypes A and B and to differentiate these from Shiga toxigenic E. coli. The assay simultaneously detects genes for Shiga toxin (stx) and intimin (eae), including allelic variants of both genes, 16S ...

Characterization of Bacteriophages Targeting Non-O157 Shiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli

open access: yesJournal of Food Protection, 2018
Non-O157 Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) are an important group of foodborne pathogens, implicated in several outbreaks and recalls in the past 2 decades. It is therefore crucial to devise effective control strategies against these pathogens. Bacteriophages present an attractive alternative to conventional pathogen control methods in the food ...

Shiga Toxigenic and Atypical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli in the Feces and Carcasses of Slaughtered Pigs [PDF]

open access: yesFoodborne Pathogens and Disease, 2012
Escherichia coli is a pathogen of major importance in swine and public health. To determine the prevalence of Shiga toxigenic E. coli (STEC) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), samples were collected from the feces and carcasses of swines. In total, 441 samples were collected in four samplings, of which 141 samples tested positive for either the stx1,

Molecular Surveillance of Shiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli O157 by PulseNet USA

open access: yesJournal of Food Protection, 2005
PulseNet USA is the national molecular subtyping network system for foodborne disease surveillance. Sixty-four public health and food regulatory laboratories participate in PulseNet USA and routinely perform pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli isolated from humans, food, water, and the environment on a real-time basis ...

Association between Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 stx Gene Subtype and Disease Severity, England, 2009–2019

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Signs and symptoms of Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serogroup O157:H7 infection range from mild gastrointestinal to bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli O157, England and Wales, 1983–2012

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
We evaluated clinical Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli O157 infections in England and Wales during 1983–2012 to describe changes in microbiological and surveillance methods.

Geogenomic Segregation and Temporal Trends of Human Pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7, Washington, USA, 2005–2014

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
The often-noted and persistent increased incidence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections in rural areas is not well understood. We used a cohort of E.

Virulence Characterization of Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia coli Isolates from Wholesale Produce [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2011
ABSTRACT The 13 Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) strains isolated from wholesale spinach and lettuce consisted mostly of serotypes that have not been implicated in illness. Among these strains, however, were two O113:H21 that carried virulence genes common to this pathogenic serotype ...

Molecular and phenotype characterisation of persistent Escherichia coli in dairy products from Midwest Brazil

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dairy Technology, Volume 79, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
This graphical summary illustrates the isolation and identification of Escherichia coli in samples from the milk production chain. The classical culture methods and molecular methods were used to identify E. coli, followed by the characterisation of biofilm formation, curli production and motility, and verification of pathogenicity and environmental ...
