Detection of Shiga Toxins by Lateral Flow Assay [PDF]

open access: yesToxins, 2015
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) produce shiga toxins (Stxs) that can cause human disease and death. The contamination of food products with STEC represents a food safety problem that necessitates rapid and effective detection strategies to ...

Do the A Subunits Contribute to the Differences in the Toxicity of Shiga Toxin 1 and Shiga Toxin 2? [PDF]

open access: yesToxins, 2015
Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 (STEC) is one of the leading causes of food-poisoning around the world. Some STEC strains produce Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and/or Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) or variants of either toxin, which are critical for the ...

The pathogenic mechanisms of Shiga toxin and the Shiga‐like toxins [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, 1991
SummaryIt is now well documented that some enteric bacteria which cause diarrhoeal and/or dysenteric disease produce, at high levels, one or more of a family of protein toxins referred to as Shiga toxin and Shiga‐like toxins (SLTs; alternatively called verocytotoxins or VTs).

Shiga toxins and apoptosis [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2003
The enteric pathogens Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cause bloody diarrheal diseases that may progress to life-threatening extraintestinal complications. Although the S. dysenteriae and STEC differ in the expression of a number of virulence determinants, they share the capacity to produce one or more ...

Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli: Detection, Differentiation, and Implications for Food Safety

open access: yesEDIS, 2016
Shiga toxin is a protein found within the genome of a type of virus called a bacteriophage. These bacteriophages can integrate into the genomes of the bacterium E. Coli. Even though most E. coli are benign or even beneficial members of our gut microbial
