Tellurite Resistance in Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli

Current Microbiology, 2018
Potassium tellurite (K2TeO3) is an effective selective agent for O157:H7 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), whereas tellurite resistance in non-O157 STEC is variable with information on O45 minimal. High-level K2TeO3 resistance in STEC is attributable to the ter gene cluster with terD an indicator of the cluster's presence. Polymerase chain

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli infection in South India [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2009
Infection with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a recognized cause of diarrhoeal illness, and can be followed by life-threatening complications such as haemorrhagic colitis and/or haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) (Tozzi et al., 2003). The key virulence factors associated with complications are Shiga toxins, Stx1 and Stx2, with variants

Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli (STEC)

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2010
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are important enteric pathogens worldwide, causing diarrhea with or without blood visibly present and hemolytic uremic syndrome. STEC are unique among diarrheogenic E coli in producing Shiga toxin type 1 and type 2, the virulence factors responsible for bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome.

Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Infections in Germany

Journal of Food Protection, 1997
A prospective study was carried out in collaboration with two children's hospitals in Würzburg, Germany to assess the incidence and clinical manifestations of infections due to Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in children. Between 1991 and 1995, stool samples from 2788 children with enteritis were investigated for the occurrence of STEC ...

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]

, 2012
Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.

Pathogenesis of Verocytotoxin/Shiga Toxin–producingEscherichia coliInfection [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
To evaluate the potential public health risk caused by secondary Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections in Japan, we investigated the prevalence and characteristics of STEC isolated from healthy adults during 2010-2012. Although prevalence among healthy adults was high, most STEC organisms displayed characteristics rarely found in ...
