Characterization of Purified Shiga Toxin from Shigella dysenteriae 1 [PDF]
Microbiology and Immunology, 1986 AbstractShiga toxin was purified from the culture supernatant of Shigella dysenteriae 1 by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE‐cellulose column chromatography and repeated chromatofocusing column chromatography. About 1.6 mg of purified Shiga toxin was obtained from 15 liters of culture with a yield of about 27%. The molecular weight of purified Shiga

Identification of the long polar fimbriae gene variants in the locus of enterocyte effacement-negative Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strains isolated from humans and cattle in Argentina [PDF]
, 2010 The long polar fimbriae (Lpf) is one of few adhesive factors of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and it is associated with colonization of the intestine. Studies have demonstrated the presence of lpf genes in several pathogenic E.

Shiga toxin 1 elicits diverse biologic responses in mesangial cells [PDF]
Kidney International, 1998 Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) is a causative agent in hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Its receptor, the glycosphingolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), is expressed on cultured human endothelial and mesangial cells. Mesangial cell injury in HUS ranges from mild cellular edema to severe mesangiolysis and eventual glomerulosclerosis.

Intimin, Tir, and Shiga Toxin 1 Do Not Influence Enteropathogenic Responses to Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli in Bovine Ligated Intestinal Loops [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2002 ABSTRACT Shiga toxin-producing Escherchia coli (STEC) comprises a group of attaching and effacing (A/E) enteric pathogens of animals and humans. Natural and experimental infection of calves with STEC may result in acute enteritis or subclinical infection, depending on serotype- and host-specific factors ...
