Comparison of droplet digital PCR and qPCR for the quantification of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in bovine feces [PDF]

, 2016
Cattle are considered to be the main reservoir for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and are often the direct or indirect source of STEC outbreaks in humans.

Pathogenicity and Antimicrobial‐Resistance Profiles of Escherichia coli Isolated From Faeces of Tibetan Pigs Reared Under Intensive Conditions

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Tibetan pig farms host diverse Escherichia coli strains that resist multiple antibiotics and carry important disease genes, such as astA. These traits jump easily between bacterial groups, marking intensive pig production as a key reservoir and signalling the need for integrated animal–human surveillance and more careful antibiotic use.

Insight into Shiga toxin genes encoded by Escherichia coli O157 from whole genome sequencing [PDF]

, 2015
The ability of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) to cause severe illness in humans is determined by multiple host factors and bacterial characteristics, including Shiga toxin (Stx) subtype.

Influence of Gut Microbiota on Response to Immune Check Point Inhibitors in MASLD Patients With HCC: Unraveling the Connection

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have emerged as a promising treatment for various cancers, including advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, a significant proportion of patients with HCC, particularly those with metabolic dysfunction‐associated liver disease (MASLD), exhibit resistance to ICI therapy.

Special Issue: Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli

Microorganisms, 2020
Globally, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an important cause of diarrheal disease, most notably hemorrhagic colitis, and post-diarrheal sequela, such as hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) [...]

Whole-genome sequencing for national surveillance of Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli O157 [PDF]

, 2015
Background. National surveillance of gastrointestinal pathogens, such as Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli O157 (STEC O157), is key to rapidly identifying linked cases in the distributed food network to facilitate public health interventions.

Imported Retail Beef and Chicken Meat Products Serve as Reservoirs for Emerging Antibiotic‐Resistant Pathotypes of Escherichia coli in Pristine Areas Free From Agricultural Activity

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Retail meat–derived E. coli frequently harbored multidrug‑resistance phenotypes, diverse virulence determinants, and plasmid‑encoded resistance genes with high conjugative potential. Results indicate meat and poultry as underrecognized reservoirs facilitating dissemination of antimicrobial resistance and pathogenic lineages, with imported products ...

Isolation of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli harboring variant Shiga toxin genes from seafood [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2018
Background and Aim: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are important pathogens of global significance. STEC are responsible for numerous food-borne outbreaks worldwide and their presence in food is a potential health hazard.

Regional Differences in Presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli Virulence-Associated Genes in the Environment in the North West and East Anglian regions of England [PDF]

, 2020
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli is carried in the intestine of ruminant animals, and outbreaks have occurred after contact with ruminant animals or their environment.

Investigation of Recombinantly Produced Endolysins Reveals a Modular Enzyme Shared by Several Enterobacteria Phages to Exhibit Broad‐Range Lytic Activity Against Different Orders of Gammaproteobacteria

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
The recombinant endolysin El1 derived from Enterobacteria bacteriophages showed potent bactericidal activity against Gram‐negative bacteria when applied exogenously, even in the absence of membrane‐permeabilizing agents, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).
