Occurrence of virulence genes associated with diarrheagenic pathotypes in Escherichia coli isolates from surface water [PDF]

, 2013
Escherichia coli isolates (n=300) collected from six sites in subtropical Brisbane, Australia, prior to and after storm events were tested for the presence of 11 virulence genes (VGs) specific to diarrheagenic pathotypes.

Protection against Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia coli by Non-Genetically Modified Organism Receptor Mimic Bacterial Ghosts. [PDF]

Infect Immun, 2015
ABSTRACT Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) causes severe gastrointestinal infections in humans that may lead to life-threatening systemic sequelae, such as the hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

Escherichia coli: Old problem, new pathology [PDF]

, 2009
Even though the presence of Escherichia coli in the organism of humans and animals as a commensal has been known for a long time, attention has been paid to it only recently as the cause of diseases in humans and animals.

Two Distinct Cytotoxic Activities of Subtilase Cytotoxin Produced by Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2007
ABSTRACT Subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB) is a recently identified AB5 subunit toxin produced by Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli. The A subunit is thought to be a subtilase-like, serine protease, whereas the B subunit binds to the toxin receptor on the cell surface. We cloned the genes from a clinical isolate;

Production of Shiga-Toxin by Escherichia coli O157:H7 isolated from Raw Cow Milk obtained within Kaduna Metropolis, Nigeria

UMYU Journal of Microbiology Research
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157: H7 (STEC) is a food-borne pathogen that is associated with human illnesses from mild gastroenteritis to severe life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

Presence of activatable Shiga toxin genotype (stx2d) in Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli from livestock sources [PDF]

, 2003
Stx2d is a recently described Shiga toxin whose cytotoxicity is activated 10- to 1,000-fold by the elastase present in mouse or human intestinal mucus. We examined Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) strains isolated from food and livestock sources ...
