Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Outbreak in Adults and Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli Negative for Locus of Enterocyte Effacement, France, 2025 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
In January 2025, the Escherichia coli National Reference Center of France detected an outbreak of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in adults, caused by Shiga toxin–producing E. coli negative for locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE). The outbreak included

Antimicrobial-resistant Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli Isolated from Ready-to-Eat Meat Products and Fermented Milk Sold in the Formal and Informal Sectors in Harare, Zimbabwe

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2020
This study aimed to: (1) assess Escherichia coli contamination in polony, beef burgers and traditionally fermented cow milk from the formal and informal markets in Harare, Zimbabwe, (2) determine the antibiotic sensitivity of Escherichia coli isolates,

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

Special Issue: Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli [PDF]

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) [...]

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:

Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli, Idaho

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
To the Editor: Data collected from expanded surveillance study suggest that more than half of Idaho Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) illnesses are caused by non-O157 serotypes. Using data from a regional medical center whose stool culture protocol included Shiga toxin testing, we predicted Idaho’s STEC incidence to be significantly higher ...

Transforming Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli surveillance through whole genome sequencing in food safety practices

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionShiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a gastrointestinal pathogen causing foodborne outbreaks. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in STEC surveillance holds promise in outbreak prevention and confinement, in broadening STEC epidemiology

Comparison of Two Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) Isolation Protocols in Raw Cow’s Milk Cheese Enrichment Broths: Direct STEC Isolation Versus Techniques Based on Immuno-concentration

Journal of Food Protection, 2023
The presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in dairy products made with raw milk is a major concern for food safety authorities and industries. Two approaches have been proposed to isolate STEC from food.

Towards Real-Time and Affordable Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigations Using Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Technologies

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The current routine laboratory practices to investigate food samples in case of foodborne outbreaks still rely on attempts to isolate the pathogen in order to characterize it.

Surface proteins of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli mediate association with milk fat globules in raw milk

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionBy adhering to host cells and colonizing tissues, bacterial pathogens can successfully establish infection. Adhesion is considered the first step of the infection process and bacterial adhesion to anti-adhesive compounds is now seen as a ...
