The predominance of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli in the Southeast Coast of India
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022 In this study, we reported Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in 847 samples, including those in coastal waters, sediments, and fish samples in the Southeast Coast of India. A total of 3742 E. coli strains were identified using conventional and molecular identification methods. Of these, 1518 isolates expressed virulent genes Stx1, Stx2, and

The Occurrence of Shiga Toxin-Producing E. coli in Aquaponic and Hydroponic Systems [PDF]
Horticulturae, 2020 Food safety concerns have been raised over vegetables and herbs grown in aquaponics and hydroponics due to the reuse of wastewater and spent nutrient solutions. This study was conducted to determine the occurrence of foodborne pathogens in greenhouse-based aquaponic and hydroponic systems. Fish feces, recirculating water, roots, and the edible portions

Nanobody-Based Bispecific Neutralizer for Shiga Toxin-Producing E. coli
ACS Infectious Diseases, 2022 Currently, no specific therapeutics are available for foodborne Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections that cause severe gastroenteritis and life-threatening complications of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). As STEC attachment to intestinal epithelium might increase the host absorption of Shiga toxins and severity of the disease, we ...

Inhibition of development of Shiga toxin-converting bacteriophages by either treatment with citrate or amino acid starvation [PDF]
, 2012 Objectives: Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are pathogenic strains, whose virulence depends on induction of Shiga toxin–converting prophages and their subsequent lytic development.

Characterizing RecA-Independent Induction of Shiga toxin2-encoding Phages by EDTA Treatment [PDF]
, 2012 The bacteriophage life cycle has an important role in Shiga toxin (Stx) expression. The induction of Shiga toxin-encoding phages (Stx phages) increases toxin production as a result of replication of the phage genome, and phage lysis of the host cell also

Characteristics of Bacteriophage Isolates and Expression of Shiga Toxin Genes Transferred to Non Shiga Toxin-Producing E. coli by Transduction. [PDF]
J Microbiol Biotechnol, 2021 A risk analysis of Shiga toxin (Stx)-encoding bacteriophage was carried out by confirming the transduction phage to non-Stx-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and subsequent expression of the Shiga toxin genes. The virulence factor stx1 was identified in five phages, and both stx1 and stx2 were found in four phages from a total of 19 phage isolates with

Bacteriophages to control Shiga toxin-producing E. coli – safety and regulatory challenges [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2020 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are usually found on food products due to contamination from the fecal origin, as their main environmental reservoir is considered to be the gut of ruminants. While this pathogen is far from the incidence of other well-known foodborne bacteria, the severity of STEC infections in humans has triggered global ...
