Shiga Toxin Producing Escherichia coli

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2015
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is among the common causes of foodborne gastroenteritis. STEC is defined by the production of specific toxins, but within this pathotype there is a diverse group of organisms. This diversity has important consequences for understanding the pathogenesis of the organism, as well as for selecting the optimum ...

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1999
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are emerging as a significant source of foodborne infectious disease in the developed world. Multistate outbreaks of E. coli O157 and non-O157 serogroups in the United States are facilitated by the centralization of food processing and distribution.

Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli

2014
In the United States, it is estimated that non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cause more illnesses than STEC O157:H7, and the majority of cases of non-O157 STEC infections are due to serogroups O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145, referred to as the top six non-O157 STEC.

Treatment of Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli Infections

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2013
The 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.

Prevalence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in beef

Meat Science, 2005
Over 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).
