Characterization of the small RNAs carried by outer membrane vesicles produced by hlyF-positive Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli
8 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Shiga toxin (Stx)–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) harboring virulence determinants of Extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) are currently emerging in Europe as a cause of severe disease. Among the ExPEC features identified in STEC, the gene hlyF is associated with an augmented production of Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMV). OMVs produced by E. coli strains have been shown to deliver toxins and small RNAs, but...
