Specific Interaction of Escherichia coli 0157:H7-Derived Shiga-like Toxin II with Human Renal Endothelial Cells
1 Nov 1995
Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli O157:H7 foodborne infections of humans, the Shiga-like toxins (SLTs) are thought to be the cause of life-threatening vascular complications, including acute renal disease known as hemolytic uremic syndrome or HUS. As virtually all E. coli O157:H7 isolates from HUS patients produce SLT-II (vs. SLT-I), the possible preferential interaction of SLT-II with human renal microvascular endothelial...
