Degradation and inactivation of Shiga toxins by nitrogen gas plasma
AMB Express, 2017 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]
, 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

Quantifying Protein–Glycan Interactions Using Native Mass Spectrometry
Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Interactions between glycan‐binding proteins (GBPs) and carbohydrates (glycans) are essential to many biological processes relevant to human health and disease. For most GBPs, however, their glycan interactome—the repertoire of glycans recognized and their specificities—is poorly defined.

Phage-Mediated Shiga Toxin 2 Gene Transfer in Food and Water [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2009 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

Nanjing Consensus II on Washed Microbiota Transplantation: Statements From the CHINAGUT Conference
Microbiota Medicine Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The new method of fecal microbiota transplantation, based on automatic facilities and washing processes, was coined as washed microbiota transplantation (WMT). The first recommendations on WMT were released as Nanjing Consensus report by the fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)‐standardization Study Group in 2019.
