Do the A Subunits Contribute to the Differences in the Toxicity of Shiga Toxin 1 and Shiga Toxin 2?

open access: yesToxins, 2015
Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 (STEC) is one of the leading causes of food-poisoning around the world. Some STEC strains produce Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and/or Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) or variants of either toxin, which are critical for the ...

Mechanism of Shiga Toxin Clustering on Membranes

open access: yesACS Nano, 2016
The bacterial Shiga toxin interacts with its cellular receptor, the glycosphingolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3 or CD77), as a first step to entering target cells.

Shiga Toxin--Producing Escherichia coli Infection [PDF]

open access: yesClinical 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 ...

Acrolein Promotes Retinal Inflammation Through Macrophage Chemotaxis by Inducing CCL2 Production From Müller Cells

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
Patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy show elevated vitreous levels of the acrolein adduct FDP‐lys and CCL2. In rat Müller glial cells (TR‐MUL5), acrolein increases Ccl2 gene expression and CCL2 secretion and promotes macrophage migration.

Characterization of Rabbit Polyclonal Sera against Recombinant Shiga Toxin and its Subunits for Detection of Stx-Producing E. coli

open access: yesIranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2011
Shiga toxin (Stx) is the principal virulence factor of Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC), a food-born pathogen associated disease with uncomplicated diarrhea or the hemolytic-uremic syndrome.

Molecular detection and antibiogram of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) from raw milk in and around Bahir Dar town dairy farms, Ethiopia

open access: yesHeliyon
Illnesses associated with consuming infected milk and milk products are a widespread problem in low and middle-income countries. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a bacterium commonly found in raw milk and causes foodborne diseases ranging

Genotyping and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Escherichia coli O157 originating from cattle farms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
During a Escherichia coli O157 prevalence study on cattle farms, 324 E. coli O157 isolates were collected from 68 out of 180 cattle farms. All isolates harbored the eaeA gene and the enterohemolysin (ehxA) gene. The majority of the strains only contained

Plasmonic Metasurfaces with Structural Chirality and Pseudo‐Chirality for Enhanced Circular Dichroism and Enantiomeric Recognition

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 1, 9 January 2026.
A planar plasmonic metasurface composed of asymmetric gold nanostructures is shown to exhibit both anisotropic and chiral/pseudo‐chiral optical responses. By tailoring the polarization and angle of incidence, the metasurface significantly enhances optical chirality and enables enantiospecific detection.
