The Probiotic Escherichia coli Strain Nissle 1917 Combats Lambdoid Bacteriophages stx and λ

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Shiga toxin (Stx) producing E. coli (STEC) such as Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) are the major cause of foodborne illness in humans. In vitro studies showed the probiotic Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917 (EcN) to efficiently inhibit the production ...

Efficacy of the Sentinox Spray in Reducing Viral Load in Mild COVID-19 and Its Virucidal Activity against Other Respiratory Viruses: Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial and an In Vitro Study

Viruses, 2022
Sentinox (STX) is an acid-oxidizing solution containing hypochlorous acid in spray whose virucidal activity against SARS-CoV-2 has been demonstrated. In this paper, results of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the efficacy of STX in reducing viral ...

Molecular detection of rfbO157, shiga toxins and hemolysin genes for Escherichia coli O157: H7 from canine feces in Tikrit and Mosul cities, Iraq [PDF]

Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2021
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is considered as an important pathogen of diarrhea in adult dogs and puppies because it contains virulence genes. The study objective was to the molecular detection of the rfbO157 encoding the O-antigen specific for E. coli O157:

A Wideband Noise Radar System Using a Phased Array with True Time Delay

Remote Sensing, 2022
Noise radar has become attractive owing to progress in hardware technology. Aside from the low probability of exploitation, the use of noise waveform is likely to grow due to its low interference features, especially in circumstances where multiple ...

Genomic Characterization of Two Shiga Toxin–Converting Bacteriophages Induced From Environmental Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Shiga toxin (Stx), encoded by stx genes located in prophage sequences, is the major agent responsible for the pathogenicity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and is closely associated with the development of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

Predictive Models May Complement or Provide an Alternative to Existing Strategies for Assessing the Enteric Pathogen Contamination Status of Northeastern Streams Used to Provide Water for Produce Production

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020
While the Food Safety Modernization Act established standards for the use of surface water for produce production, water quality is known to vary over space and time.

Origin of saxitoxin biosynthetic genes in cyanobacteria. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a potentially fatal syndrome associated with the consumption of shellfish that have accumulated saxitoxin (STX). STX is produced by microscopic marine dinoflagellate algae.

In vitro and in silico assessment of cytotoxicity and chromosome instability induced by saxitoxin in human derived neural cell line

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
In freshwater, saxitoxins (STX) are produced by different cyanobacteria genera, including Raphidiopsis. Data regarding cytogenotoxicity effects of STX on human cells are scarse, this merit further studies of its toxicology.

Shiga toxin increases formation of clathrin-coated pits through Syk kinase. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Clathrin-dependent endocytosis is a main entry mechanism for the glycolipid-binding Shiga toxin (Stx), although clathrin-independent pathways are also involved.
