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) [...]

Comparison of droplet digital PCR and qPCR for the quantification of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in bovine feces [PDF]
Toxins, 2016 Cattle are considered to be the main reservoir for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and are often the direct or indirect source of STEC outbreaks in humans.

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 ...

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:

The long polar fimbriae (lpf) operon and its flanking regions in bovine Escherichia coli O157:H43 and STEC O136:H12 strains [PDF]
, 2013 Long polar fimbriae (Lpf) are intestinal adhesins and important virulence factors of pathogenic Escherichia coli strains. We cloned and sequenced the lpf2-1 operon (lpf2ABCD) and its flanking regions of an intimin- and Shiga toxin-negative E.

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 ...
