The Benefits of Whole Genome Sequencing for Foodborne Outbreak Investigation from the Perspective of a National Reference Laboratory in a Smaller Country

Foods, 2020
Gradually, conventional methods for foodborne pathogen typing are replaced by whole genome sequencing (WGS). Despite studies describing the overall benefits, National Reference Laboratories of smaller countries often show slower uptake of WGS, mainly ...

Incubation Period of Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli [PDF]

Epidemiologic Reviews, 2019
Abstract Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli are pathogenic bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tract of humans. Severe infections could lead to life-threatening complications, especially in young children and the elderly. Understanding the distribution of the incubation period, which is currently inconsistent and ambiguous, can ...

Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2010
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) can produce a wide spectrum of human diseases, being an important cause of both outbreaks and sporadic cases of bloody and non-bloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, the diarrhea-associated form of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) worldwide. HUS is a major cause of acute renal failure in children. Albeit O157:

Isolation of verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli associated with diarrhoea in Malaysia containing plasmids showing homology with biotinylated Shiga-like toxin DNA gene probes [PDF]

, 1996
Three strains of verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli isolated from patients with haemorrhagic colitis harboured plasmids ranging in size from 2.7 kb to 91.2 kb. Those plasmids ranging from 2.7 kb to 6.8 kb hybridized to Shiga-like toxin I and Shiga-like

Shiga Toxin--Producing Escherichia coli Infection [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2004
Large-scale outbreaks of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infection have revealed the great disease-causing potential of this organism, especially among children and elderly persons. Approximately 5%-10% of people with STEC infection will develop hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), approximately 10% of those who develop HUS will die or have ...
