Replication of plasmids derived from Shiga toxinconverting bacteriophages in starved Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2011
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

Comparison of droplet digital PCR and qPCR for the quantification of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in bovine feces [PDF]

, 2016
Cattle are considered to be the main reservoir for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and are often the direct or indirect source of STEC outbreaks in humans.

Production and Characterization of Protective Human Antibodies against Shiga Toxin 1 [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2002
ABSTRACTHemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is a serious complication which is predominantly associated in children with infection by Shiga toxin-producingEscherichia coli(STEC). By using HuMAb-Mouse (Medarex) animals, human monoclonal antibodies (Hu-MAbs) were developed against Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) for passive immunotherapy of HUS.

Highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for the detection of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) using interdigitated micro-electrodes selectively modified with a chitosan-gold nanocomposite

Electrochimica Acta, 2022
: Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) is a foodborne pathogen of great concern due to the severity of the disease it can cause. A key pathogenicity factor is the ability to produce Shiga T Toxin 1 and 2, which are encoded by genes stx . Herein we report

Survival Outcomes of Gemcitabine–Cisplatin–S‐1 Versus Gemcitabine–Cisplatin in Unresectable Biliary Tract Cancer: A Multicenter Retrospective Study With a Focus on Conversion Surgery

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this multicenter retrospective study conducted by the Biliary Tract Club, we compared survival outcomes between gemcitabine–cisplatin–S‐1 (GCS) and gemcitabine–cisplatin (GC) in patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer, with a particular focus on conversion surgery. GCS was associated with longer overall and progression‐free survival compared

Shiga Toxin Profiles of Poultry-origin Escherichia coli Isolates with Low Levels of Antimicrobial Resistance to the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute-recommended Antibiotics for Surveillance in Human Beings

Indian Journal of Public Health
Background: Escherichia coli are the reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. Shiga toxin-producing E. coli of animal origin can cause severe life-threatening infections in man.

Postharvest Survival of Foodborne Pathogens on Strawberry Surfaces at Different Maturity Levels

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This study highlights the survival of E. coli and L. monocytogenes on strawberries at different maturity stages and storage temperatures. Predictive microbial modeling revealed temperature‐ and ripeness‐dependent survival trends, emphasizing the importance of temperature control and ripeness in developing effective strategies to enhance strawberry ...

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

Cytotoxic effect of Shiga toxin-1 on human proximal tubule cells [PDF]

Kidney International, 1998
Cytolytic Shiga toxins (Stx) are believed to be largely responsible for renal damage in post-diarrheal hemolytic-uremic syndrome (D + HUS). Despite the general belief that endothelial cells are the primary target of Stx, there is evidence that proximal tubules may be a site of toxin action.
