The new face of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli infections.
Citation style for this article: Jansen A, Kielstein JT. The new face of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli infections. The unprecedented outbreak of Shiga toxin/vero-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC/VTEC) O104:H4 in Germany in May and June 2011 displayed several novel epidemiological, microbiological and clinical features. Infection with STEC/VTEC, also referred to as enterohaemorrhagic...

متن کاملConsequences of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli infection for the vascular endothelium.
Microvascular endothelial damage underlies the pathological changes in haemorrhagic colitis and the haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) caused by enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). Shiga toxins (Stxs) are presently the best characterised EHEC virulence factors that can cause the microvascular endothelium injury. Stxs are released by EHEC in the intestine, absorbed across the gut epitheli...
متن کاملA comparison of enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli pathogenesis.
This review covers enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) infections, focusing on differences in their virulence factors and regulation. While Shiga-toxin expression from integrated bacteriophages sets EHEC apart from EPEC, EHEC infections often originate from asymptomatic carriage in ruminants whereas human EPEC are considered to be overt pathogens and m...
متن کاملVacuolisation of human microvascular endothelial cells by enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli.
Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) cause haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), a thrombotic microangiopathy resulting from endothelial injury in the renal glomeruli and other organs. EHEC virulence factors that damage the microvascular endothelium play therefore major roles in the pathogenesis of HUS. We identified an EHEC strain that vacuolates and kills primary human glomerular microvasc...
