Detection of Shiga Toxin-Producing Strains of Escherichia coli (O157:H7) isolated from specimens of urinary and stool by Multiplex-PCR method

Background: Infection of shiga toxin-producing Strains of Escherichia coli has some other dangerous and deadly effects such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in addition to diarrhea. Its diagnosis is difficult and there is no information on It's incidence in Iran. The goal of this study is to evaluate and detect shiga toxinproducing strains of E. coli isolated from urinary and stool specimens ...

Prevalence, Molecular Characterization and Serology of Shiga toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Isolated from Buffaloes in West Azerbaijan, Iran

This present study is the first to report the presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in buffaloes in Iran. A total of 360 fecal samples were collected from buffaloes from different regions in the west Azerbaijan province of Iran and cultured for the isolation of E. coli using routine biochemical tests. From the fecal samples, 340 E. coli were isolated and, of these, 26 STEC i...

Shiga toxin 2 induces macrophage-granulocyte colonies from human bone marrow and cord blood stem cells.

Addition of Shiga toxin 2 to human bone marrow or cord blood cell culture induced macrophage-granulocyte colonies. Although Shiga toxin 2 alone induced colonies mainly composed of macrophages, it induced colonies mainly consisting of granulocytes when combined with physiological doses of interleukin-1beta, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, or stem cell factor with interleukin-3.

Shiga toxin binding to isolated porcine tissues and peripheral blood leukocytes.

Shiga toxin (Stx) binding sites in porcine tissues and leukocytes were identified by the use of Stx overlay and anti-CD77/Gb3 immunoassays. Stx1 and Stx2 bound to similar tissue locations and leukocytes, although some differences were noted. Previously unreported Stx binding sites were identified in kidney tubules, intestinal lymphoid aggregates, sinusoidal liver cells, alveolar macrophages, an...
