A New Immunoassay for Detecting All Subtypes of Shiga Toxins Produced by Shiga Toxin-Producing E. coli in Ground Beef

PLOS ONE, 2016
Shiga toxin (Stx) is a common virulence factor of all Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) that cause a wide spectrum of disease, including hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Although several commercial kits are available for detection of Stx produced by STEC, none of them are capable of recognizing all subtypes of Stxs, which ...

Pathogenic Potential to Humans of Bovine Escherichia coli O26, Scotland [PDF]

, 2012
Escherichia coli O26 and O157 have similar overall prevalences in cattle in Scotland, but in humans, Shiga toxin–producing E. coli O26 infections are fewer and clinically less severe than E. coli O157 infections.

Molecular Characterization of Shiga Toxin Produced by Escherichia coli Isolated from Milk Samples in Baghdad City

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2022
Raw milk is a nutrient-rich food that is considered a high-quality nutritional medium for many microorganism, including Escherichia coli. The aim of the present work was the diagnosis, by molecular methods, of Shiga toxins produced by E.

Captive wild birds as reservoirs of enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) and Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC). [PDF]

Braz J Microbiol, 2017
Psittacine birds have been identified as reservoirs of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, a subset of pathogens associated with mortality of children in tropical countries. The role of other orders of birds as source of infection is unclear. The aim of this study was to perform the molecular diagnosis of infection with diarrheagenic E.

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

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
