Neuropsychological Outcome after Complicated Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli Infection
BACKGROUND The diarrhea associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a major cause of acute uremic failure in children, but not very common in adults. The enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli-epidemic in Germany in 2011 affected mostly young and healthy adults. While their immediate deficits have been published, not much is known about the time course and degree of recovery concerning cognitive...
متن کاملShiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli
The Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) O113:H21 strain 98NK2, which was responsible for an outbreak of hemolytic uremic syndrome, secretes a highly potent and lethal subtilase cytotoxin that is unrelated to any bacterial toxin described to date. It is the prototype of a new family of AB 5 toxins, comprising a single 35-kilodalton (kD) A subunit and a pentamer of 13-kD B subunits. The A sub...
متن کاملSecondary Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli Infection, Japan, 2010–2012
To evaluate the potential public health risk caused by secondary Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections in Japan, we investigated the prevalence and characteristics of STEC isolated from healthy adults during 2010-2012. Although prevalence among healthy adults was high, most STEC organisms displayed characteristics rarely found in isolates from symptomatic patients.
متن کاملShiga toxin producing Escherichia coli infection: current progress & future challenges.
Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a newly emerged pathogen that has been the focus of immense international research effort driven by its recognition as a major cause of large scale epidemics and thousands of sporadic cases of gastrointestinal illness. It produces a severe bloody diarrhoea that is clinically distinct from other types of diarrhoeal diseases caused by other enteric...
متن کاملShiga 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...
