- Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) Infections Fact Sheet
What are the symptoms of STEC infections and when do they appear? Symptoms of STEC infections can vary, but most often include severe diarrhea (loose stool poop), stomach cramps, and vomiting
- Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) - Washington State Department of . . .
Cause: Shiga toxin-producing E coli strains (STEC) including E coli O157:H7 Illness and treatment: Symptoms include abdominal cramping and severe or bloody diarrhea, usually without fever Serious complications include hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) Most persons will recover without treatment
- Shiga Toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) Infection

- Information for Clinicians | E. coli infection | CDC
Stool samples should be routinely cultured for E coli O157 and simultaneously assayed for non-O157 STEC with a test that detects Shiga toxins (or the genes that encode them)
- Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) - King County, Washington
E coli germs (bacteria) normally live in the intestines of humans and animals Many strains of E coli bacteria exist, and most of them are harmless or beneficial to human health STEC are strains of E coli that produce Shiga toxin (such as E coli O157:H7) and can cause serious illness in people
- Shiga toxin-producing - UpToDate
Escherichia coli that contain genes encoding Shiga toxins 1 and or 2 are important human pathogens; these are referred to as Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC)
- Pick a Pathogen: Non-O157 Shiga Toxin-Producing E. coli (STEC)
All E coli that produce a Shiga toxin are known as STEC STEC serotypes are identified by their somatic (O) and flagellar (H) antigens Thus, E coli O157, refers to the O antigen 157, and E coli O157:H7, identifies the H7 antigen
