Facile and Cost-Effective Detection of Saxitoxin Exploiting Aptamer Structural Switching
A simple method to detect saxitoxin (STX), one of the main components of the paralytic shellfish poison from red tide, has been developed. By using a next generation dye for double-stranded DNA we were able to differentiate fluorescence from STX-binding ...

Table_1_The Probiotic Escherichia coli Strain Nissle 1917 Combats Lambdoid Bacteriophages stx and λ.docx [PDF]
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 ...

Development and Validation of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Immunodiagnostic Assay
Shiga toxin (Stx)−producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and its subgroup enterohemorrhagic E. coli are important pathogens involved in diarrhea, which may be complicated by hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome, the leading cause of acute ...

AbstractMany different species of cyanobacteria have been identified worldwide as a threat to drinking water safety since they are capable of producing saxitoxins (STX), one of the most toxic non-protein substances known in nature. Although removal of these components can be accomplished by adsorption on granular activated carbon (GAC), a method to ...

Immunological and molecular characterization of the STX-10 antigen [PDF]
The STX-10 antigen, recognized by the monoclonal antibody HSA-10, was found to be present in human placenta and in human sperm. This antigen was isolated from placenta and sperm extracts by immunoaffinity chromatography, it was then analyzed by sodium

Saxiphilin functions as a toxin sponge protein that counteracts the effects of saxitoxin poisoning
Saxitoxin (STX) is among the most potent toxins known, is classified as a chemical weapon, and is the archetype of the paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) family produced by marine and freshwater harmful algal blooms (HAB).
