Potential immunosuppressive effects of Escherichia coli O157:H7 experimental infection on the bovine host [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), like E. coli O157:H7 are frequently detected in bovine faecal samples at slaughter. Cattle do not show clinical symptoms upon infection, but for humans the consequences after consuming contaminated ...

Characterizing RecA-Independent Induction of Shiga toxin2-encoding Phages by EDTA Treatment [PDF]
, 2013 The bacteriophage life cycle has an important role in Shiga toxin (Stx) expression. The induction of Shiga toxin-encoding phages (Stx phages) increases toxin production as a result of replication of the phage genome, and phage lysis of the host cell also

Evolution of plant ribosome-inactivating proteins [PDF]
, 2010 This contribution presents an updated analysis of the evolution of ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) in plants. All evidence suggests that an ancestor of modern seed plants developed the RIP domain at least 300 million years ago.

Epithelial cell signaling responses to enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli infection
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2005 Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, including the serotype O157:H7 that is most commonly identified with human disease, cause both sporadic cases and outbreaks of non-bloody diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis.

Protective Microbiota: From Localized to Long-Reaching Co-Immunity [PDF]
, 2017 Resident microbiota do not just shape host immunity, they can also contribute to host protection against pathogens and infectious diseases. Previous reviews of the protective roles of the microbiota have focused exclusively on colonization resistance ...

A method for detecting Shiga toxin and Shiga-like toxin-l in pure and mixed culture [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1990 Shiga toxin and Shiga-like toxins (SLTs, syn. Verotoxins) are currently detected by tissue culture assays that are expensive, time-consuming and require specialised facilities and experienced personnel. We have developed a rapid method to detect Shiga toxin and SLT-I (Verotoxin 1) based on their binding to globotriosyl ceramide (Gb3).

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 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 ...

Managemental influences on the selective proliferation of two strains of haemolytic Escherichia coli in weaned pigs [PDF]
, 1988 In an experimental study on a piggery it was found that haemolytic Escherichia coli of O-serotypes 138 or 139 proliferated in the intestinal tracts of pigs following weaning, with E.

Type III Secretion Effectors with Arginine N-Glycosyltransferase Activity [PDF]
, 2020 Type III secretion systems are used by many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens to inject proteins, known as effectors, into the cytosol of host cells. These virulence factors interfere with a diverse array of host signal transduction pathways and cellular
