The long polar fimbriae (lpf) operon and its flanking regions in bovine Escherichia coli O157:H43 and STEC O136:H12 strains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Long polar fimbriae (Lpf) are intestinal adhesins and important virulence factors of pathogenic Escherichia coli strains. We cloned and sequenced the lpf2-1 operon (lpf2ABCD) and its flanking regions of an intimin- and Shiga toxin-negative E.

The Effect of Lactic Acid in Association With Steam in Reducing Microorganisms in Soft Wheat

open access: yesCereal Chemistry, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page 288-299, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Within the food industry, steam is an effective method of microbial reduction for a variety of products. Previous studies have shown that tempering soft wheat with organic acids, as well as steam application, can potentially reduce wheat's microbial load with minor changes in the functional properties of the flour ...

Molecular Detection and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Shiga Toxin Producing Escherichia coli among Children with Diarrhea in Addis Ababa, Gondar, and Harar, Ethiopia

open access: yesJournal of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
Introduction: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a major cause of pediatric diarrhea globally, yet its burden, molecular characteristics, and antibiotic resistance patterns remain underexplored in low-resource settings like Ethiopia ...

A preliminary study of the use of MinION sequencing to specifically detect Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in culture swipes containing multiple serovars of this species

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
An important challenge relating to clinical diagnostics of the foodborne pathogen Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), is that PCR-detection of the shiga-toxin gene (stx) in DNA from stool samples can be accompanied by a failure to identify an STEC ...

Improved flux limits for neutrinos with energies above 10$^{22}$ eV from observations with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Particle cascades initiated by ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos in the lunar regolith will emit an electromagnetic pulse with a time duration of the order of nano seconds through a process known as the Askaryan effect.

Pathogenicity and Antimicrobial‐Resistance Profiles of Escherichia coli Isolated From Faeces of Tibetan Pigs Reared Under Intensive Conditions

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Tibetan pig farms host diverse Escherichia coli strains that resist multiple antibiotics and carry important disease genes, such as astA. These traits jump easily between bacterial groups, marking intensive pig production as a key reservoir and signalling the need for integrated animal–human surveillance and more careful antibiotic use.

Virulence Genes, Shiga Toxin Subtypes, Serogroups, and Clonal Relationship of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia Coli Strains Isolated from Livestock and Companion Animals

open access: yesAnimals, 2019
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a zoonotic pathogen that causes severe illness in humans and is an important cause of foodborne disease.

Introducing Reflected GNSS TEC Data Into ANCHOR Ionospheric Data Assimilation Model

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract ANCHOR is a novel data assimilation (DA) algorithm developed at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory to improve ionospheric nowcasting by increasing accuracy and decreasing computational cost. As a parameterized DA model, ANCHOR represents the ionosphere using physical parameters such as the F2 layer peak (Nm $Nm$F2), which characterizes a ...

Assessment of Ionospheric Model Performance Over the US During the Extreme G5 2024 Mother's Day Geomagnetic Storm

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study evaluates 17 ionospheric models' performance over the Continental United States (CONUS) during the 2024 Mother's Day geomagnetic storm, using ground‐based GNSS Total Electron Content (TEC) and single‐frequency (SF) precise Single Point Positioning (SPP) technique. The storm produced significant positive storm effects during its main
