Abstract
Shiga toxin-producing #Escherichiacoli (STEC) are important food
borne #pathogens that can cause severe disease in children by producing
two toxins (Stx1 and Stx2). This bacteria harbor several additional
#virulence factorsand have been classified in different #serotypes that
have
been used as screening for detection of STEC. Aa is not possible to
define when a STEC strain is pathogenic, it is important incorporate the
risk
assessment. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are important food borne
pathogens that can cause severe disease in children, including a
life-threatening complication such as bloody diarrhea and hemolytic
uremic #syndrome (HUS) [1]. The damage is produced by Shigatoxins encoded
by stx1 and stx2 genes carried by #lysogenicphages that infect the
bacteria [2]. STEC must intimately adhere to epithelial cells through
#adhesions for deliver toxins efficiently to host organism.
