Comparison of IRI-Plas STEC and IONOLAB-STEC Over a Midlatitude GPS Network
Total Electron Content (TEC) is an important parameter of the ionosphere used to investigate and determine the ionospheric variability. Slant Total Electron Content (STEC) is the total number of electrons between the receiver-satellite link. International Ionosphere (IRI) Extended to Plasmasphere (IRI-Plas) is an internationally accepted climatic model

Subtyping of STEC by MLVA in Argentina [PDF]
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) causes serious human illness such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Argentina has the world's highest rate of this syndrome, which is the leading cause of acute renal failure among children. E. coli O157:H7 is the most common cause of HUS, but a substantial and growing proportion of this illness is caused

Characterisation of STEC and other diarrheic E. coli isolated on CHROMagar™STEC at a tertiary referral hospital, Cape Town [PDF]
Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen that can cause acute renal failure, especially in children. Clinical microbiology laboratories may fail to detect STEC and other diarrhoeic E. coli unless purposive rigorous screening procedures are followed using appropriate diagnostic technology; CHROMagar™STEC has rarely been used

Fragmentation of Long Reads Enables Reliable Mitogenome Assembly From Whole-Genome Amplification Data With Pervasive Palindromic Reads. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Whole genome amplification (WGA), and in particular multiple displacement amplification (MDA), has become a key technique for genomic sequencing of microscopic organisms, yet it introduces artefacts such as palindromic (inverted chimeric) reads that may compromise downstream analyses.

Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and STEC-Associated Virulence Genes in Raw Ground Pork in Canada [PDF]
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7/nonmotile and some non-O157 STEC strains are foodborne pathogens. In response to pork-associated O157 STEC outbreaks in Canada, we investigated the occurrence of STEC in Canadian retail raw ground pork during the period of 1 November 2014 to 31 March 2016. Isolated STEC strains were characterized to

Surveillance van STEC in Nederland, 2018
In 1999 startte de surveillance van shigatoxineproducerende Escherichia coli (STEC) in Nederland met de meldingen van STEC O157-infecties. In 2007 zijn STEC non-O157-infecties hieraan toegevoegd. Per juli 2016 is de focus van de STEC-surveillance verschoven naar acute en ernstige(re) infecties middels nieuwe meldingscriteria.

Integrative Modular, Network-Based, and Machine Learning Framework for Predicting Accessory Genome Functions and Virulence in Escherichia coli O157:H7. [PDF]
An analysis of the accessory genomes from 77 Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains using network and machine learning techniques uncovers modular communities of plasmid‐related virulence associated with IncF replicons. Accessory markers that are not directly linked to toxin genes can effectively predict the virulence status with an AUC of 0.85, facilitating
