Global and regional source attribution of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli infections using analysis of outbreak surveillance data [PDF]
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections pose a substantial health and economic burden worldwide. To target interventions to prevent foodborne infections, it is important to determine the types of foods leading to illness.

Revisiting the STEC Testing Approach: Using espK and espV to Make Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) Detection More Reliable in Beef [PDF]
Current methods for screening Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 and non-O157 in beef enrichments typically rely on the molecular detection of stx, eae, and serogroup-specific wzx or wzy gene fragments.

Draft genome sequences of Escherichia coli O157: H7 strains Rafaela_II (clade 8) and 7.1_Anguil (clade 6) from cattle in Argentina [PDF]
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a major etiologic agent of diseases in humans that cause diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic-uremic syndrome. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two strains isolated from cattle that had high levels of ...

Escherichia coli Shiga Toxin Mechanisms of Action in Renal Disease
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli is a contaminant of food and water that in humans causes a diarrheal prodrome followed by more severe disease of the kidneys and an array of symptoms of the central nervous system.

Simple oxidation of pyrimidinylhydrazones to triazolopyrimidines and their inhibition of Shiga toxin trafficking [PDF]
The oxidative cyclisation of a range of benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine hydrazones (7a–j) to the 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines (8a–j) catalysed by lithium iodide or to the 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines (10a–j) with sodium carbonate is presented.

There is an unmet need in metastatic breast cancer patients to monitor therapy response in real time. In this study, we show how a noninvasive and affordable strategy based on sequencing of plasma samples with longitudinal tracking of tumour fraction paired with a statistical model provides valuable information on treatment response in advance of the ...

Replication of plasmids derived from Shiga toxinconverting bacteriophages in starved Escherichia coli [PDF]
The pathogenicity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) depends on the expression of stx genes that are located on lambdoid prophages. Effective toxin production occurs only after prophage induction, and one may presume that replication of the

Pathologic changes in mice induced by subtilase cytotoxin, a potent new Escherichia coli AB(5) toxin that targets the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]
Subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB) is the prototype of a recently discovered AB₅ cytotoxin family produced by certain strains of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC).
