Volume Resuscitation and Progression to Organ Failure in Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Infection in Adults

Critical Care Explorations, 2021
OBJECTIVES:. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli infection is associated with dysentery and the hemolytic uremic syndrome, marked by the triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, acute kidney failure, and thrombocytopenia.

A Practical Method to Implement Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigation and Source Tracking in Routine

Microorganisms, 2020
The management of a foodborne outbreak depends on the rapid and accurate identification of the responsible food source. Conventional methods based on isolation of the pathogen from the food matrix and target-specific real-time polymerase chain reactions (

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 ...

Bacteriophages of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli and Their Contribution to Pathogenicity [PDF]

Pathogens, 2021
Shiga toxins (Stx) of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are generally encoded in the genome of lambdoid bacteriophages, which spend the most time of their life cycle integrated as prophages in specific sites of the bacterial chromosome. Upon spontaneous induction or induction by chemical or physical stimuli, the stx genes are co-transcribed

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:

Intimin, tir, and shiga toxin 1 do not influence enteropathogenic responses to shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in bovine ligated intestinal loops [PDF]

, 2002
Shiga toxin-producing Escherchia coli (STEC) comprises a group of attaching and effacing (A/E) enteric pathogens of animals and humans. Natural and experimental infection of calves with STEC may result in acute enteritis or subclinical infection ...
