Fatal Meningitis from Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli in 2 Full-Term Neonates, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
We report fatal meningitis in 2 neonates in France caused by Shiga toxin 1–producing Escherichia coli. Virulence factors capsular K1 antigen and salmochelin were present in both strains, potentially representing a new hybrid pathotype. Clinicians should

Transmission and quantification of verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 in dairy cattle and calves [PDF]

, 2009
Data from a field study of 14 months duration in a naturally colonized dairy herd and data from an experiment with calves were used to quantify transmission of verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC O157) in cattle.

Replication of plasmids derived from Shiga toxinconverting bacteriophages in starved Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2011
The pathogenicity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) depends on the expression of stx genes that are located on lambdoid prophages. Effective toxin production occurs only after prophage induction, and one may presume that replication of the

Non-O157 Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli Associated with Venison

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
We investigated an outbreak of non-O157 Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli at a high school in Minnesota, USA, in November 2010. Consuming undercooked venison and not washing hands after handling raw venison were associated with illness. E. coli O103:

Neurological involvement and MRI brain findings in an adult with hemolytic uremic syndrome: A case report

Radiology Case Reports, 2020
Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a frequent complication of shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli in pediatric population. It rarely affects adults with extremely rare neurological manifestation.

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]

, 2012
Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.

Public health implications of a case of haemolytic-uraemic syndrome associated with a concomitant outbreak of mild gastroenteritis in a small rural community. [PDF]

, 2006
The concomitant occurrence of a case of haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (HUS) and 62 cases of mild gastroenteritis in schools of a small rural community in southern Italy induced the health authorities to suspect a foodborne outbreak of shiga-toxin-producing

Comparative phenotypic characterization of hybrid Shiga toxin-producing / uropathogenic Escherichia coli, canonical uropathogenic and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2021
Hybrid Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) strains are phylogenetically positioned between STEC and UPEC and can cause both diarrhea and urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, their virulence properties

Spatial and temporal epidemiology of sporadic human cases of Escherichia coli O157 in Scotland, 1996-1999 [PDF]

, 2005
In Scotland, between 1995 and 2000 there were between 4 and 10 cases of illness per 100000 population per year identified as being caused by Escherichia coli O157, whereas in England and Wales there were between 1 and 2 cases per 100000 population per ...
