Pathogenic Factors of Shiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
The Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) are bacterial enteropathogens responsible for some intensive clinical syndromes such as bloody diarrhoea, hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, and renal failure ...

Therapeutic concentrations of antibiotics inhibit Shiga toxin release from enterohemorrhagic E. coli O104:H4 from the 2011 German outbreak

BMC Microbiology, 2012
Background The shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) O104:H4 caused a major outbreak in Germany in spring 2011. STEC are usually susceptible to common antibiotics. However, antibiotic treatment of STEC-infected patients is not recommended because STEC may

Shiga toxin-producingE. coli(STEC) in swine: prevalence over the finishing period and characteristics of the STEC isolates

Epidemiology and Infection, 2014
SUMMARYThis descriptive longitudinal study was conducted to investigate the faecal shedding of Shiga toxin-producingE. coli(STEC) in finishing swine and to characterize the swine STEC isolates that were recovered. Three cohorts of finishing swine (n = 50/cohort; total 150 pigs) were included in the longitudinal study.

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

Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli Strains Negative for Locus of Enterocyte Effacement

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
Most Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections that are associated with severe sequelae such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) are caused by attaching and effacing pathogens that carry the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE).

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

Neonatal Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome After Mother-to-Child Transmission of a Low-Pathogenic stx2b Harboring Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2017
This case describes evidence for a Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O146:H28 infection leading to hemolytic uremic syndrome in a neonate. STEC O146:H28 was linked hitherto with asymptomatic carriage in humans. Based on strain characteristics

Long-term health outcomes of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 (STEC O157) infection and STEC-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome (STEC-HUS), Wales, 1990–2020

Pediatric Nephrology
Abstract Background Information on sequelae of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 infection is limited to follow-up of paediatric haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) cases.

Understanding STEC epidemiology and predominance of O157:H-negative in Australia: Genetic characterisation and virulence assessment of STEC isolates

, 2022
This research investigated the epidemiology of Australian Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). STEC cause mild to severe disease in humans. Australian STEC are non-motile and mis-characterised as O157:H7 that cause severe disease and outbreaks globally. Using comparative genomics, a genetic mutation was found only in Australian STEC.

Neutralizing antibodies in the intestinal mucosa are essential to control gastrointestinal infection by Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli

mLife
Infections with Shiga toxin (Stx)‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains can result in a wide range of clinical presentations. Despite STEC O157:H7 being the serotype most frequently associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), in some patients, a
