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

Marine 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.

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

BMC 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.

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

Toxins, 2010 Shiga toxin (Stx) produced by the invasive Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 (S. dysenteriae1) causes gastrointestinal and kidney complications. It has been assumed that Stx is released intracellularly after enterocyte invasion by S. dysenteriae1. However,

Intervention with Shiga Toxin (Stx) Antibody after Infection by Stx‐ProducingEscherichia coli [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001 Shiga toxins (Stxs) produced by Escherichia coli (STEC) cause systemic vascular damage, manifested as hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans and as edema disease in pigs. Edema disease, a naturally occurring disease of pigs, was used to determine whether Stx antibodies, administered after infection and after the onset of Stx production, could prevent the ...

In VivoAutopolysialylation and Localization of the Polysialyltransferases PST and STX [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 A select group of mammalian proteins have been shown to possess alpha2,8-polysialylated oligosaccharide chains. The best studied of these proteins is the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM). Polysialylation of NCAM has been shown to decrease NCAM-dependent and independent cell adhesion.
