Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli with particular attention to the German outbreak strain O104:H4 [PDF]
, 2012 This review deals with the epidemiology and ecology of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), a subset of the verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC), and subsequently discusses its public health concern.

Altruism of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli: recent hypothesis versus experimental results
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) may cause bloody diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis, with subsequent systemic disease. Since genes coding for Shiga toxins (stx genes) are located on lambdoid prophages, their effective production occurs only ...

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a global foodborne bacterial pathogen that is often accountable for colon disorder or distress. STEC commonly induces severe diarrhea in hosts but can cause critical illnesses due to the Shiga toxin ...

Shiga Toxin Detection Methods : A Short Review [PDF]
, 2013 The Shiga toxins comprise a family of related protein toxins secreted by certain types of bacteria. Shigella dysenteriae, some strain of Escherichia coli and other bacterias can express toxins which caused serious complication during the infection. Shiga

Whole-genome sequencing for national surveillance of Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli O157 [PDF]
, 2015 Background. National surveillance of gastrointestinal pathogens, such as Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli O157 (STEC O157), is key to rapidly identifying linked cases in the distributed food network to facilitate public health interventions.

Roles of Shiga Toxins in Immunopathology [PDF]
Toxins, 2019 Shigella species and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are agents of bloody diarrhea that may progress to potentially lethal complications such as diarrhea-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (D+HUS) and neurological disorders. The bacteria share the ability to produce virulence factors called Shiga toxins (Stxs).
