Shiga toxin is a potent protein toxin produced by certain strains of bacteria, primarily Shigella dysenteriae and some Escherichia coli strains, such as E. coli O157:H7. It inhibits protein synthesis in host cells, leading to cell death and severe intestinal damage. This toxin is responsible for the symptoms of dysentery and can cause serious complications, including hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which affects the kidneys. Due to its severity, shiga toxin is a major concern in food safety and public health.

Are there toxic proteins in vegetables?
Some proteins can indeed be toxic. However, note that it is rare for a protein to be toxic.Yes pathogens produce and secrete toxic proteins to invade their host. Bacterial toxin such as hemolysin A, neurotoxin, botulinum toxin, tetanus toxin, Shiga toxin are all proteins. They are strongly antigenic can elicit immune response.
What does shigella do to the human body?
Shigella causes dysentery that results in the destruction of the epithelial cells of the intestinal mucosa in the cecum and rectum. Some strains produce enterotoxins and Shiga toxin, similar to the verotoxin of E. coli. Both Shiga toxin and verotoxin are associated with causing hemolytic uremic syndrome.

What is the significance of Ecoli ATCC 25922?
This strain is often used for antibiotic susceptibility tests. It's serotype O6, an E. coli EHEC strain that does not produce Shiga toxin.
What is shiga's population?

What is the ICD-9 codes for acute cystitis due to 0157 Shinga toxin producing E coli?
In the ICD-9 coding system, acute cystitis is typically coded as 595.0. However, for the specific case of acute cystitis due to Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), there isn't a direct ICD-9 code that combines both conditions. Instead, you would code the cystitis as 595.0 and separately code for the infection caused by the E. coli strain, which is generally recorded under 008.45 for enterocolitis due to Shiga toxin-producing E. coli.
