Editorial Commentary: Increasing Evidence That Certain Antibiotics Should Be Avoided for Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli Infections: More Data Neededdoi:10.1093/cid/ciw101Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coliantibioticsdiarrheahemolytic uremic syndromeRajal K...
For opportunistic, antibiotic-resistant infections such asC. difficileinfections, alternative therapies to antibiotics are far superior to antibiotic-based approaches [152,153]. The transfer of fecal microbes from a healthy person to a patient has been used as a remedy for recurrent diarrhea for at ...
We searched the PubMed and Google Scholar databases for relevant articles, using the key words: “haemolytic uraemic syndrome”, “Shiga toxin”, “E. coli O157:H7”, “E. coli O104:H4”, “STEC colitis”, “STEC antibiotics”, “STEC fosfomycin”, “STEC trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole”, “...
This study provides proofofprinciple for the design of an antibiotic-peptide wrwycr combination effective in killing STEC without enhancing release of Shiga toxins. It also offers a strategy for the repurposing of antibiotics for treatment of STEC infection....
Quinolone antibiotics induce Shiga toxin-encoding bacteriophages, toxin production, and death in mice. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cause significant disease; treatment is supportive and antibiotic use is controversial. Ciprofloxacin but not... X Zhang,McDaniel Aaron D.,LE Wolf,......

The emergence, prevalence, and differences in resistance genes in the intestines of yaks, beef, and dairy cattle may be caused by the selective pressure of different feeding patterns, where yaks were raised without antibiotics for growth promotion. In addition, the abundance of ARGs in yak was ...
Antibiotics should not be used in STEC infection as they may lyse the bacteria leading to release of Shiga toxin and may predispose to development of HUS. Antimotility agents are contraindicated in children and in persons with EIEC infection. Uncomplicated E coli cystitis can be treated with a ...

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains are foodborne pathogens that negatively impact human health and compromise food safety. Serogroup O157 is the most frequently isolated and studied STEC serogroup, but six others (O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145) have also been identi...
