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.

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in wild ungulates

Science of The Total Environment, 2019
Shiga 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 ...

Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli and haemolytic uraemic syndrome

Lancet, The, 2005
Most 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.

Detection of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in food

Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics, 2003
Shiga 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
