Virulence plasmids in edema disease: Insights from whole-genome analysis of porcine O139:H1 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
This study investigates the plasmid sequences of porcine O139:H1 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) responsible for Edema Disease (ED). Whole-genome analysis reveals significant similarities between these strains and known plasmids, notably ...

Transforming Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli surveillance through whole genome sequencing in food safety practices

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionShiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a gastrointestinal pathogen causing foodborne outbreaks. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in STEC surveillance holds promise in outbreak prevention and confinement, in broadening STEC epidemiology

Comparison of Two Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) Isolation Protocols in Raw Cow’s Milk Cheese Enrichment Broths: Direct STEC Isolation Versus Techniques Based on Immuno-concentration

Journal of Food Protection, 2023
The presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in dairy products made with raw milk is a major concern for food safety authorities and industries. Two approaches have been proposed to isolate STEC from food.

Towards Real-Time and Affordable Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigations Using Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Technologies

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The current routine laboratory practices to investigate food samples in case of foodborne outbreaks still rely on attempts to isolate the pathogen in order to characterize it.

Surface proteins of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli mediate association with milk fat globules in raw milk

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionBy adhering to host cells and colonizing tissues, bacterial pathogens can successfully establish infection. Adhesion is considered the first step of the infection process and bacterial adhesion to anti-adhesive compounds is now seen as a ...

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 (

Inhibition of development of Shiga toxin-converting bacteriophages by either treatment with citrate or amino acid starvation [PDF]

, 2012
Objectives: Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are pathogenic strains, whose virulence depends on induction of Shiga toxin–converting prophages and their subsequent lytic development.

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 ...
