Degradation and inactivation of Shiga toxins by nitrogen gas plasma
Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) leads to food poisoning by causing hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Some STEC produce Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and/or Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2), a relatively stable protein toxin, necessitating

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

Phage-Mediated Shiga Toxin 2 Gene Transfer in Food and Water [PDF]
ABSTRACT Shiga toxin ( stx ) transduction in various food matrices has been evaluated with lysogens of Stx phages. stx transduction events were observed for many phages under appropriate conditions. Transduction did not occur at low pH and low temperatures. A total of 10

This study identifies C4 as a lead inhibitor of the Lpt system. Notably, C4 potentiates colistin activity by disrupting LPS transport and remodeling phospholipid homeostasis, revealing a functional interplay between the Lpt and Mla systems. These findings establish a mechanistic link between Lpt inhibition and membrane lipid remodeling, positioning Lpt–

Shiga toxins (Stx) are cytotoxins involved in severe human intestinal disease. These toxins are commonly found in Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 and Shiga-toxin–producing Escherichia coli; however, the toxin genes have been found in other Shigella ...

How ricin and shiga toxin reach the cytosol of target cells : retrotranslocation from the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]
A number of protein toxins bind at the surface of mammalian cells and after endocytosis traffic to the endoplasmic reticulum, where the toxic A chains are liberated from the holotoxin.

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