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

Phylogeny, Resistome, and Virulome of Escherichia coli Causing Biliary Tract Infections [PDF]

, 2019
Escherichia coli is the most frequent Gram-negative bacilli involved in intra-abdominal infections. However, despite high mortality rates associated with biliary tract infections due to E. coli, there is no study focusing on this pathogen. In this study,

Characterization of Shiga Toxin Subtypes and Virulence Genes in Porcine Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Similar to ruminants, swine have been shown to be a reservoir for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), and pork products have been linked with outbreaks associated with STEC O157 and O111:H-. STEC strains, isolated in a previous study from fecal samples of late-finisher pigs, belonged to a total of 56 serotypes, including O15:H27, O91:H14 ...

Targeting ANGPTL3 and IL‐33/ST2 Ameliorates Diabetic Kidney Disease by Reducing Lipotoxicity, Alleviating Inflammation and Inhibiting Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual targeting of ANGPTL3 and IL‐33/ST2 attenuates diabetic kidney disease by reprogramming lipid–inflammatory crosstalk. This strategy reduces renal lipotoxicity, suppresses inflammatory activation, and limits fibrotic remodeling, thereby preserving kidney structure and function and highlighting a mechanism‐guided therapeutic approach for metabolic ...

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

Characterization of six Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains carrying Stx2-phages from Colombia

Universitas Scientiarum, 2022
Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a bacterial pathogen that causes diarrhea and severe human diseases like HUS; its main virulence factor are the Shiga toxins (Stx1 and Stx2). Some Stx2 subtypes have been identified and associated with the

Inhibition of Shiga toxin-converting bacteriophage development by novel antioxidant compounds [PDF]

, 2018
Oxidative stress may be the major cause of induction of Shiga toxin-converting (Stx) prophages from chromosomes of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in human intestine.

Shiga toxin binds to activated platelets [PDF]

Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2004
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is associated with acute renal failure in children and can be caused by Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli. Thrombocytopenia and formation of renal thrombi are characteristic of HUS, suggesting that platelet activation is involved in its pathogenesis. However, whether Shiga toxin directly activates platelets is

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 ...

The Effect of Mitomycin C on Induction of Shiga Toxin Production in Clinical STEC Isolates

Toxins
Early determination of the Shiga toxin type of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is crucial for guiding STEC-infected patients for proper and timely treatment and patient care.
