shiga-toxigenic escherichia coli

Preferred Label : shiga-toxigenic escherichia coli;

MeSH definition : Strains of ESCHERICHIA COLI with the ability to produce at least one or more of at least two antigenically distinct, usually bacteriophage-mediated cytotoxins: SHIGA TOXIN 1 and SHIGA TOXIN 2. These bacteria can cause severe disease in humans including bloody DIARRHEA and HEMOLYTIC UREMIC SYNDROME.;

MeSH synonym : verotoxigenic escherichia coli; verotoxigenic e. coli; STEC; vtec; e coli, verotoxigenic; verotoxin-producing escherichia coli; shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli; vero cytotoxin-producing escherichia coli; escherichia coli, verotoxigenic; shiga toxigenic e. coli; shiga toxigenic escherichia coli;

MeSH annotation : infection: coordinate IM with ESCHERICHIA COLI INFECTION (IM); consider also HEMOLYTIC UREMIC SYNDROME;
