Genetic and antimicrobial resistance profiles of non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli from different sources in Egypt

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2021
Background The Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) represented a great risk to public health. In this study, 60 STEC strains recovered from broiler and duck fecal samples, cow’s milk, cattle beef, human urine, and ear discharge were screened ...

Characterizing RecA-Independent Induction of Shiga toxin2-encoding Phages by EDTA Treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The bacteriophage life cycle has an important role in Shiga toxin (Stx) expression. The induction of Shiga toxin-encoding phages (Stx phages) increases toxin production as a result of replication of the phage genome, and phage lysis of the host cell also

Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli in Faecal Samples from Wild Ruminants

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
Wildlife can harbour Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). In the present study, STEC in faecal samples from red deer (n = 106) and roe deer (n = 95) were characterised. All isolates were non-O157 strains. In red deer, STEC were detected in 17.9%

Clinical Escherichia coli Strains Carrying stx Genes: stx Variants and stx -Positive Virulence Profiles [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Microbiology, 2002
ABSTRACT Altogether, 173 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serotype O157 ( n = 111) and non-O157 ( n = 62) isolates from 170 subjects were screened by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism for eight different stx ...

Multiplex PCR for the simultaneous detection of the Enterobacterial gene wecA, the Shiga Toxin genes (stx 1 and stx 2) and the Intimin gene (eae)

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2018
Objectives The aetiology of several human diarrhoeas has been increasingly associated with the presence of virulence factors rather than with the bacterial species hosting the virulence genes, exemplified by the sporadic emergence of new bacterial hosts.

Electrophysiological Evaluation of Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) Sensitivity to Saxitoxin and Tetrodotoxin

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2021
Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) may bio-accumulate high levels of paralytic shellfish toxins (PST) during harmful algal blooms of the genus Alexandrium. These blooms regularly occur in coastal waters, affecting oyster health and marketability.

Shiga Toxin (Stx) Type 1a Reduces the Oral Toxicity of Stx Type 2a [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Infectious Diseases, 2016
Shiga toxin (Stx) is the primary virulence factor of Stx-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). STEC can produce Stx1a and/or Stx2a, which are antigenically distinct. However, Stx2a-producing STEC are associated with more severe disease than strains producing both Stx1a and Stx2a.To address the hypothesis that the reason for the association of Stx2a with ...

Genetic development of Stx phage

open access: yesBiodiversitas Journal of Biological Diversity, 2023
Abstract. Sjahriani T, Kurniati M, Arivo D, Syukri DM, Tyasningsih W. 2023. Genetic development of Stx phage. Biodiversitas 24: 4334-4341. Stx phages have been studied and described due to their involvement in shigatoxin. The variety, evolution, dispersion, and molecular mechanisms of STEC and Stx phages have all been widely studied, but the further ...

Feasibility Study of Emission Reduction on Marine Engine with Variation of Emulsified Water Concentration and Turbocharger Compression Ratio

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
The characteristics of black carbon and nitrogen oxide reduction versus the water content of emulsion fuel were studied by numerical methods, and a method of reducing fuel consumption was achieved by adjusting the turbocharger compression ratio.
