STECode: an automated virulence barcode generator to aid clinical and public health risk assessment of Shiga toxin-producing <i>Escherichia coli</i>

2024-05-08

Abstract excerpt

Shiga Toxin (Stx) producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a subset of pathogenic E. coli that can produce two types of Stx, Stx1 and Stx2, which can be further subtyped into four and 15 subtypes respectively. Not all subtypes, however, are equal in virulence potential, and the risk of severe disease including haemolytic uraemic syndrome has been linked to certain Stx2 subtypes e.g. Stx2a, Stx2d, highlighting the im...
