Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in wild ungulates
Science of The Total Environment, 2019Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are zoonotic pathogens that live in the gastrointestinal tract of wildlife and cattle without causing disease. In humans, their colonization and infection lead to life-threatening disease. We investigated the occurrence of STEC in wild ungulates (wild boar, red deer and roe deer) inhabiting areas ...

Treatment of Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli Infections
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2013The management of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections is reviewed. Certain management practices optimize the likelihood of good outcomes, such as avoidance of antibiotics during the pre-hemolytic uremic syndrome phase, admission to hospital, and vigorous intravenous volume expansion using isotonic fluids.

Pathogenesis of Shiga-Toxin Producing Escherichia coli
2011Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are food-borne pathogens that cause hemorrhagic colitis and a serious sequela, the hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The largest outbreaks of STEC are due to a single E. coli serotype, O157:H7, although non-O157 serotypes also cause the same diseases.

Enterohemorrhagic (Shiga Toxin-Producing) Escherichia coli
2016Enterohemorrhagic (Shiga toxin-producing) Escherichia coli (EHEC/STEC) is a zoonotic food- and waterborne pathogen that can cause human infections ranging from asymptomatic carriage or mild diarrhea to hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli and haemolytic uraemic syndrome
The Lancet, 2005Most cases of diarrhoea-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) are caused by Shiga-toxin-producing bacteria; the pathophysiology differs from that of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Among Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), O157:H7 has the strongest association worldwide with HUS.

Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli
2014This chapter discusses the emergence and impact of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in human disease, the biology of the Shiga toxins (Stx) family, and approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infection with STEC. The occurrence of the seminal STEC outbreaks highlighted the need to implement laboratory methods to readily ...

Prevalence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in beef
Meat Science, 2005Over the past two decades, many human illness outbreaks were attributed to consumption of undercooked beef products containing Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). The illnesses included mild or bloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and the life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

Shiga Toxin-ProducingEscherichia coli
2019This chapter summarizes the latest information available for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). STEC was first recognized as a human pathogen in 1982, when E. coli O157:H7 was identified as the cause of two outbreaks of hemorrhagic colitis. Since then, many other serogroups of E.

Detection of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in food
Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics, 2003Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli are emerging as a significant source of food-borne infectious disease all over the world. Illness caused by Shiga toxin-producing E. coli can range from self limited, watery diarrhea to life-threatening manifestations such as hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and
