Comparative Genomics Applied to Systematically Assess Pathogenicity Potential in Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli O145:H28

Michelle Qiu Carter et al.

Summary: This study examines the pathogenic potential of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O145:H28 in clinical and environmental strains using comparative genomics. The core genes-based tree failed to differentiate between environmental and clinical strains, while the accessory genes-based tree grouped all clinical strains together. Loss-of-function mutations were common in virulence genes related to adherence and secretion systems. Differences in pathogenicity islands and other genetic elements were observed between O145:H28 and reference strains. The study reveals the genetic diversity and evolution of virulence in STEC.

The global population structure and evolutionary history of the acquisition of major virulence factor- encoding genetic elements in Shiga toxin- producing Escherichia coli O121:H19

Ruriko Nishida et al.

Summary: This study conducted a global WGS analysis of O121:H19 STEC strains and found that these strains were divided into four lineages. Comparisons of 11 complete genomes revealed significant interlineage differences in prophage pool and prophage-encoded T3SS effector repertoire. The study also showed that most lineage L1 strains produced higher levels of Stx2a compared to lineage L3, indicating highly conserved genomic features within this serotype of STEC.

Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and STEC-Associated Virulence Genes in Raw Ground Pork in Canada

Helen Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence of STEC in Canadian retail raw ground pork and found the presence of both O157 and non-O157 STEC strains. The virulence gene profiles suggest that non-O157 STEC capable of causing severe human illness are rare in Canadian retail pork, with O157 STEC occasionally occurring. Education regarding the potential risks associated with STEC contamination of pork would be beneficial to help reduce foodborne illnesses.
