Team Identifies Potential Drug Target for Severe E. coli Infections – Technology Networks
UNSW Science researchers have studied an E. coli strain responsible for a severe intestinal infection in humans, enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). They have discovered a new molecular pathway that controls Shiga toxin production, this finding i…
Escherichia coli, known as E. coli, are bacteria which many people associate with causing mild food poisoning, but some types of E. coli can be fatal.
UNSW Science microbiologists studied an E. coli strain that causes a severe intestinal infection in humans: enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). Their findings were published this week in the journal PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences).
EHEC is a food-borne pathogen that releases Shiga toxins during infection, resulting in kidney…
