Stx2dact-producing strains, as detected by our one-step PCR method, can be isolated not only from humans, as previously documented,īut also from food and animals. The Vero cell cytotoxicities of supernatants from P1130 and stx1 deletion mutants of CVM9322, CVM9557, and CVM9584 were increased 13- to 30-fold after treatment with porcine elastase. One isolate, P1130, harbored only stx2dact. Three of the isolates (CVM9322, CVM9557, and CVM9584) also carried stx1, two (P1332 and P1334) carried stx1 and stx2c, and one (CL-15) carried stx2c. Seven STEC isolates from cows (four isolates), meat (two isolates),Īnd a human (one isolate) that carried the putative stx2dact gene were identified all were eae negative, and none was the O157:H7 serotype. The presence of stx2dact was confirmed by DNA sequencing of the complete toxin genes. Method targeted the region of stx2dact that encodes the elastase recognition site. We screenedġ53 STEC isolates from food, animals, and humans for the gene encoding Stx2dact by using a novel one-step PCR procedure. Present in intestinal mucus, which cleaves the last two amino acids of the A2 portion of the toxin A subunit. One such Stx2 variant, the Stx2d mucus-activatable toxin (Stx2dact), is rendered more toxic by the action of elastase There is considerable heterogeneity among the Shiga toxin type 2 (Stx2) toxins elaborated by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). Our results suggest that in our area study raw milk cheeses could be considered a risk for food born STEC contamination. Just one sample was found to be contaminated with e. The use of consensus primers detected stx genes in 6.4% of the samples, but STEC strains could be isolated in only five of them (4%). For this purpose, 125 samples of soft and semi-soft cheeses made with raw cow milk were analysed with multiplex-PCR method for the presence of STEC. coli O157 and non-O157 STEC in raw milk cheeses produced in the Southern part of Iran (Kerman province). Although some data suggest that STEC are not prevalent within dairy products, the aim of this work was to assess the prevalence of e. coli STEC, and many foodborne diseases have been associated with the consumption of minced beef, beefburgers and raw milk. Cattle are thought to be a reservoir for e. These bacteria can cause severe health problems in humans like diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uraemic syndrome which have become a serious health problem in various countries. aBsTraCT The Shiga-like toxin-producing escherichia coli (STEC) is the most important group of food-borne pathogens that emerged recently.
