Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli and haemolytic uraemic syndrome
Lancet, The, 2005Most 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.

Pathogenesis of Shiga-Toxin Producing Escherichia coli
2011Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are food-borne pathogens that cause hemorrhagic colitis and a serious sequela, the hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The largest outbreaks of STEC are due to a single E. coli serotype, O157:H7, although non-O157 serotypes also cause the same diseases.

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in wild ungulates
Science of The Total Environment, 2019Shiga 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 ...

Treatment Strategies for Infections With Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Infections with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cause outbreaks of severe diarrheal disease in children and the elderly around the world. The severe complications associated with toxin production and release range from bloody diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis to hemolytic-uremic syndrome, kidney failure, and neurological issues. As the use

Detection of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in food
Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics, 2003Shiga 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

Enterohemorrhagic (Shiga Toxin-Producing) Escherichia coli
2016Enterohemorrhagic (Shiga toxin-producing) Escherichia coli (EHEC/STEC) is a zoonotic food- and waterborne pathogen that can cause human infections ranging from asymptomatic carriage or mild diarrhea to hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

Epidemiology and diagnosis of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli infections
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1999Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) have been identified as a worldwide cause of serious human gastrointestinal disease and the life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome. The most common serotype implicated is E. coli O157: H7, but infections involving various non-O157 serotypes have been found with increasing frequency in many countries ...

Pathogenesis and treatment of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli infections
Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2008Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli cause hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. We will summarize the literature on incidence and outcomes of these infections, and then review the pathogenesis to explain the current recommendations against antibiotic use and to suggest alternative therapies.Shiga toxin-producing E.

Epidemiology of Argentinean Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli
2014Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an important food-borne pathogen that can cause nonbloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome(HUS). The first isolation of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 from cattle occurred in Argentina in 1977, when three E. coli O157 strains were recovered from feces of 13
