Comparative Transcriptomics of Shiga Toxin-Producing and Commensal Escherichia coli and Cytokine Responses in Colonic Epithelial Cell Culture Infections

Comparative Transcriptomics of Shiga Toxin-Producing and Commensal Escherichia coli and Cytokine Responses in Colonic Epithelial Cell Culture Infections

Ingestion of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) can result in a range of illness severity from asymptomatic to hemorrhagic colitis and death; thus risk assessment of STEC strains for human pathogenicity is important in the area of food safety. Illness severity depends in part on the combi...
