Shiga Toxin 2–Specific but Not Shiga Toxin 1–Specific Human Monoclonal Antibody Protects Piglets Challenged with EnterohemorrhagicEscherichia coliProducing Shiga Toxin 1 and Shiga Toxin 2 [PDF]
Escherichia coli strains that produce Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) are isolated from hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) cases more frequently than are strains that produce both Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and Stx2, whereas strains that produce only Stx1 are rarely isolated from HUS cases.

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.

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

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.

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 ...
