Clinical Escherichia coli strains carrying stx genes: stx variants and stx-positive virulence profiles.
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 genes. The results were compiled according to serotypes, phage types of O157, production of Stx toxin and enterohemolysin, and the presence of eae. The stx genes occurred in 11...
متن کاملSerotypes, virulence profiles and stx subtypes of Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli isolated from chicken derived products.
Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) is a foodborne pathogen that causes hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and the consumption of chicken products has been related to some HUS cases. We performed a non-selective isolation and characterization of STEC strains from retail chicken products. STEC isolates were characterized according to the presence of stx1, stx2, eae, saa and ehxA; stx subtypes an...
متن کاملRelationship between stx genotype and Stx2 expression level in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 strains.
To determine the expression level of Shiga toxin (Stx) 2-related toxins (Stx2 and Stx2c) produced by each of 33 Stx-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 strains, stx2 and stx2c mRNAs (stx2-related mRNA) were measured using real-time PCR with primers that recognize sequences common to stx2 and stx2c. The amount of Stx2 and Stx2c protein was measured using a reversed passive latex agglutina...
متن کاملStreaming Transformations for XML-STX
STX (Streaming Transformations for XML) ist eine Transformationssprache, die als schnelle und speicherschonende Alternative zu XSLT entworfen wurde. STX weist gewisse syntaktische Ähnlichkeiten zu XSLT auf, arbeitet jedoch auf einem Strom von SAX-Events und transformiert diesen unmittelbar in einen entsprechenden Ergebnis-Strom. STX-Transformationen können auf diese Weise unter anderem als SAX-...
متن کاملtir- and stx-positive Escherichia coli in stream waters in a metropolitan area.
Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, which may include the enteropathogenic E. coli and the enterohemorrhagic E. coli, are a significant cause of diarrheal disease among infants and children in both developing and developed areas. Disease outbreaks related to freshwater exposure have been documented, but the presence of these organisms in the urban aquatic environment is not well characterized. From...
