MeSH Heading: Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia coli
Tree Number(s): B03.440.450.425.325.300.800; B03.660.250.150.180.100.800
Unique ID: D054323
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D054323
Annotation: infection: coordinate IM with ESCHERICHIA COLI INFECTION (IM); consider also HEMOLYTIC UREMIC SYNDROME
Scope Note: 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.
