The Effect of Mitomycin C on Induction of Shiga Toxin Production in Clinical STEC Isolates

Toxins
Early determination of the Shiga toxin type of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is crucial for guiding STEC-infected patients for proper and timely treatment and patient care.

Geldanamycin Enhances Retrograde Transport of Shiga Toxin in HEp-2 Cells.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) has been shown to alter endosomal sorting, diverting cargo destined for the recycling pathway into the lysosomal pathway. Here we investigated whether GA also affects the sorting of cargo into

Escherichia coli Shiga Toxin Mechanisms of Action in Renal Disease

Toxins, 2010
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.

Eeyarestatin 1 interferes with both retrograde and anterograde intracellular trafficking pathways [PDF]

, 2011
Background: The small molecule Eeyarestatin I (ESI) inhibits the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-cytosol dislocation and subsequent degradation of ERAD (ER associated protein degradation) substrates.

Retrograde transport pathways utilised by viruses and protein toxins [PDF]

, 2006
A model has been presented for retrograde transport of certain toxins and viruses from the cell surface to the ER that suggests an obligatory interaction with a glycolipid receptor at the cell surface. Here we review studies on the ER trafficking cholera

Pathogenic Potential to Humans of Bovine Escherichia coli O26, Scotland [PDF]

, 2012
Escherichia coli O26 and O157 have similar overall prevalences in cattle in Scotland, but in humans, Shiga toxin–producing E. coli O26 infections are fewer and clinically less severe than E. coli O157 infections.

Shiga Toxin-Producing E. coli in Animals: Detection, Characterization, and Virulence Assessment

, 2021
Cattle and other ruminants are primary reservoirs for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains which have a highly variable, but unpredictable, pathogenic potential for humans.

Shiga Toxin—A Model for Glycolipid-Dependent and Lectin-Driven Endocytosis

Toxins, 2017
The cellular entry of the bacterial Shiga toxin and the related verotoxins has been scrutinized in quite some detail. This is due to their importance as a threat to human health.

Nitric oxide‐enhanced Shiga toxin production was regulated by Fur and RecA in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157

MicrobiologyOpen, 2017
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) produces Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2). Nitric oxide (NO), which acts as an antimicrobial defense molecule, was found to enhance the production of Stx1 and Stx2 in EHEC under anaerobic conditions.
