Saxitoxin (STX) represents a marine toxin of significant concern due to its deleterious implications for aquatic ecosystems and public food safety. As a potent paralytic agent, the role of STX in obstructing voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) is well ...

Multiplex PCR to Diagnose Gastrointestinal Infections: Key Limitations in Interpretation
ABSTRACT Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panels are increasingly used for the evaluation of acute diarrhea, providing rapid and sensitive detection of a broad range of enteric pathogens. However, their widespread adoption has created important interpretive challenges for clinicians.

STX increases glucose-induced plasma insulin levels.
A, Plasma insulin concentration (µg/l) measured at 30 min after a 2 g/kg glucose load in male mice treated with vehicle or 100 µg/kg STX; n≥7 mice/condition.

Sex steroids do not affect shigatoxin cytotoxicity on human renal tubular or glomerular cells
Background The greater susceptibility of children to renal injury in post-diarrheal hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) may be related, at least in part, to heightened renal cell sensitivity to the cytotoxic effect of Shiga toxin (Stx), the putative mediator

Characterisation of Haemolytic Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolated From Dogs and Cats
The present study characterises 51 canine and feline haemolytic E. coli isolates from urinary tract infections by a polyphasic approach, including susceptibility testing, CH‐clonotyping, and DNA microarrays. The majority of isolates belonged to phylogenetic group B2 and were classified as extraintestinal pathogenic E.

International audienceShiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are food-borne pathogens that may be responsible for severe human infections. Only a limited number of serotypes, including O26:H11, are involved in the majority of serious cases and ...

Structure of the saxiphilin:saxitoxin (STX) complex reveals a convergent molecular recognition strategy for paralytic toxins [PDF]
Dinoflagelates and cyanobacteria produce saxitoxin (STX), a lethal bis-guanidinium neurotoxin causing paralytic shellfish poisoning. A number of metazoans have soluble STX-binding proteins that may prevent STX intoxication.
