Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cause hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in humans. Outbreaks are linked to bovine food sources. STEC O157:H7 has been responsible for the most severe outbreaks worldwide. However, non-O157 serotypes have emerged as important enteric pathogens in several countries. The main virulence factor of STEC is the production of Shig...

Shiga Toxin Producing Escherichia coli

Hydrogen sulfide-producing variants of Escherichia coli.

Seventeen strains of H(2)S-producing variants of Escherichia coli were isolated from specimens submitted for microbiological study (ten from stool, five from urine, and two from postmortem material). Production of H(2)S was unstable in several strains; however, other than their production of H(2)S, all strains closely resembled typical E. coli in their biochemical reactions. In vitro susceptibi...
