Shiga toxins (Stx) of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are generally encoded
in the genome of lambdoid bacteriophages, which spend the most time of their life cycle …

Shiga toxins (Stx) comprise a family of potent cytotoxins that are involved in severe human
disease. Stx are mainly produced by Escherichia coli isolated from human and nonhuman …

Shiga toxins (Stx) represent a group of bacterial toxins that are involved in human and
animal disease. Stx are mainly produced by Escherichia coli isolated from human and non …

The pathogenicity of Shiga-like toxin (stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), notably
serotype O157, the causative agent of hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic-uremic syndrome, and …

The authors first met in 1998 at the University of Würzburg, Germany, at the Institute of
Hygiene and Microbiology, in Helge Karch's lab, where Herbert Schmidt worked as a …

Background A total of 179 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) complete
genomes were analyzed in terms of serotypes, prophage coding regions, and stx gene …

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains, and particularly a subset of this group
of bacteria called enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), are dangerous human pathogens …

Shiga toxin (Stx) phages can be induced from Stx-producing Escherichia coli strains (STEC)
or can be isolated as free virions from different samples. Here we describe methods used for …

Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin
genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause …

ABSTRACT Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) from the foodborne pathogen Escherichia coli O157: H7 is
encoded on a temperate bacteriophage. Toxin-encoding phages from C600:: 933W and …
