Shiga toxin-producing Esherichia coli (STEC) are also known as enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), which are pathogenic bacteria that can cause serious illnesses in humans who consume contaminated foods or water.

Shiga toxin–producingEscherichia coli(STEC) Escherichia coliis the predominant facultativeanaerobein the human intestine, and as such, it engenders a significant degree of immune tolerance. Within this prodigious biomass, however, a variety of pathogenic subtypes ofE. colihave evolved, and at least ...
Escherichia coli(E. coli) is a germ that occurs naturally in the gut of mammals and birds, as well as in the human intestinal flora. However, certainE. colitypes can cause severe diarrhea in humans. These virulentE. colitypes include Shiga toxin-producingE. coli(STEC),also known as Vero...
Conclusion: In Iran, shiga toxin- producing Escherichia coli (STEC) may be a commonly bacterial pathogen causing diarrhea, particularly in children. Therefore, we should use new techniques for investigation of these strains. Increase in number of emerging and new strains that could be resistant to...

warm-blooded animals. Although most E. coli are considered harmless, certain strains can cause severe illness in humans, particularly Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). Infection with STEC is the main cause of haemolytic uraemic syndrome, a condition which can be ...
Shiga-like toxins (e.g. SLT-1 and SLT-2, verotoxin, of E. coli) are structurally-related toxins that cleave a single residue from the 28S rRNA subunit of ribosomes thus blocking interaction with elongation factors eEF-1 and eEF-2. ...
The large number of cases of human illness caused by Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) worldwide has raised safety concerns for foods of bovine origin. These human illnesses include diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Severe case...
