Escherichia coli is the predominant nonpathogenic facultative flora of the human intestine.
Some E. coli strains, however, have developed the ability to cause disease of the …

Since their initial recognition 20 years ago, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC)
strains have emerged as an important cause of serious human gastrointestinal disease …

Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) comprises a diverse group of organisms capable of
causing severe gastrointestinal disease in humans. Within the STEC family, certain strains …

Abstract Background Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157: H7 is a well-
recognized cause of bloody diarrhea and hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS). Non-O157 …

In 1982, an investigation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of two
outbreaks of severe bloody diarrhea, associated with the same fastfood restaurant chain, led …

We report a cell-phone based Escherichia coli (E. coli) detection platform for screening of
liquid samples. In this compact and cost-effective design attached to a cell-phone, we utilize …

ABSTRACT A multiplex PCR was developed for the rapid detection of genes encoding
Shiga toxins 1 and 2 (stx1 and stx2), intimin (eaeA), and enterohemolysin A (hlyA) in 444 …

PCR products of 1.8 kb were generated with DNAs from all Escherichia coli H7 strains tested
by using oligonucleotide primers which flank the fliC gene. Three RsaI digestion profiles of …

The frequency of Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serotypes associated with
postdiarrheal hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) cases among children and adults in the …
