Effect of Shiga toxin and Shiga-like toxins on eukaryotic cells

Microbes and Infection, 2001
Shigella dysenteriae and Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) elaborate the AB holotoxins, Shiga or Shiga-like toxins (Stx). Stx play a major role in the pathogenesis of haemorrhagic colitis and haemolytic uremic syndrome. This review provides an overview of the mechanisms of action of Stx and a model of the pathogenesis of Stx-induced disease.

Shiga toxins

Toxicon, 2012
Shiga toxins are virulence factors produced by the bacteria Shigella dysenteriae and certain strains of Escherichia coli. There is currently no available treatment for disease caused by these toxin-producing bacteria, and understanding the biology of the Shiga toxins might be instrumental in addressing this issue.

PREPARATION AND PROPERTIES OF SHIGA TOXIN AND TOXOID [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Medicine, 1946
1. Shigella dysenteriae (Shiga) can, under the proper cultural conditions, produce a soluble toxin which is independent of the specific somatic polysaccharide antigen. A method is described for the rapid production of this toxin by an avirulent R variant of this organism. 2.

Shiga toxins

Toxicon, 2001
Shiga toxin and Shiga-like toxins belong to the group of protein toxins which have a moiety that binds to the cell surface and another enzymatically active moiety that after entry into the cytosol inhibits protein synthesis enzymatically. The toxins can also cause apoptosis by mechanisms that may be different from the effect on the protein synthesis ...
