Background Culture-independent diagnostic testing (CIDT) provides rapid results to
clinicians and is quickly displacing traditional detection methods. Increased CIDT use and …

Diarrheal diseases due to foodborne Escherichia coli are the leading cause of illness in
humans. Here, we performed pathogenic typing, molecular typing, and antimicrobial …

An important challenge relating to clinical diagnostics of the foodborne pathogen Shiga toxin-
producing E. coli (STEC), is that PCR-detection of the shiga-toxin gene (stx) in DNA from …

Molecular methods may reveal the presence of pathogens in samples through the detection
of specific target gene (s) associated with microorganisms, but often, the subsequent cultural …

The public health importance of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia (E.) coli (STEC), syn.
Vero cytotoxin-producing E. coli, stems primarily from its ability to cause severe disease and …

Background Infectious disease surveillance tracks disease epidemiology and informs
prevention and control. Public health measures implemented in Australia during the COVID …

Gastrointestinale Infektionen machen etwa 60% der in Deutschland meldepflichtigen
Infektionskrankheiten aus und zählen vermutlich zu den häufigsten gastroenterologischen …

Abstract Purpose Antimicrobial treatment of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC)
infections is controversial because antimicrobials may stimulate Shiga toxin (Stx) production …

Introduction. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) can cause severe to fatal
disease in humans. Antimicrobial treatment is sometimes necessary, but contraindicated …

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) may cause severe disease mainly due to the
ability to produce Shiga toxins (Stx) encoded on bacteriophages. In Norway, more than 30 …
