Toxin test: This test is used to detect the Shiga toxin directly using enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Stool cultures detect O157 STEC but do not detect non-O157 STEC. Therefore, the CDC recommends that EIA to detect Shiga toxins be used in conjunction with stool cultures. Detection of non-O157 ...
Four-year experience with simultaneous culture and Shiga toxin testing for detection of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in stool samples. We report our experience with universal Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) screening using culture and Shiga toxin antigen testing over 4 years......
Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) bacteria are a frequent cause of food-borne gastroenteritis, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Because antimicrobial agents are generally contraindicated in patients infected with STEC, a sensitive and specific diagnostic test with ...

The frequency with which stools contain Shiga-like toxin producing Escherichia coli not belonging to serotype O157:H7 is unknown in the United States. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency with which these E. coli are present in stools from children from Seattle submitted for bac...

PCR assays examining for Shiga toxin genetic determinants in enriched stool specimens are summarized in Table 3. All these stool samples had been previously identified27 to contain positive cultures of the following: O157:H7; O26:H11; O121:H19; O26:NM; O5:NM; O111:NM; O145:NM; O103:...
Production of Shiga-Like Toxin by Escherichia coli Escherichia coli is one of several agents that cause intestinal disease in humans and animals. Four classes of E. coli have been recognized [1], Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) strains produce a heat-labile (LT) enterotoxin and/or a heat-....
Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC), Salmonella spp., and Yersinia species was investigated in humans, animals, and foods in San Luis, Argentina. A total of 453 samples were analyzed by cul...
Fecal samples collected from 237 diarrheic infants in Kampala, Uganda and from 159 healthy cattle from a ranch in the Central Region of Uganda were investigated for the presence of Escherichia coli O157 and other types of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). E. coli O157 were not detected ...
