Recommendations for Diagnosis of Shiga Toxin--Producing Escherichia coli Infections by Clinical Laboratories Shiga toxin--producing E. coli (STEC) cause approximately 100,000 illnesses, 3,000 hospitalizations, and 90 deaths annually in the United States, according to the last estimate in 1999 (2). Most reported STEC infections in the United States are caused by E. coli O157:H7, with an estimated 73,000 cases occurring each year (2).

- Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are gastrointestinal bacteria whose infection can cause diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis. The systemic complication of STEC infection is known as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), caused principally by the effects of Shiga toxin (Stx) in target organs like kidney and brain.

- Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of genes that encode virulence is known to occur between species of bacteria. This explains how E. coli and Vibrio cholerae produce a nearly identical diarrhea-inducing toxin, as well as how E. coli O157:H7 acquired ability to produce shiga toxin form Shigella dysenteriae.

- Understanding brain damage and endocrine disorders caused by MSG. MSG is a neurotoxin, potentially toxic to everyone -- potentially toxic even to those people who do not respond with adverse reactions such as migraine headache, asthma, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, disorientation, and depression.We know that MSG kills brain cells in laboratory animals.We know this from studies wherein MSG was given in food and from studies were MSG was given in drinking water. We know that MSG causes macular degeneration (retinal degeneration).e know that MSG kills brain cells in laboratory animals.

- Abstract The toxin ss-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) was proposed to contribute to the ALS/Parkinsonism-dementia complex of Guam (ALS/PDC) based on its presence in cycad seeds, which constituted a dietary item in afflicted populations, and its ability to induce a similar disease phenotype in primates.n past studies we found that toxic and excitatory effects of BMAA on cultured neurons were dependent upon the presence of bicarbonate in the medium, and suggested that formation of a carbamate adduct of the side-chain amino group might produce structures capable of activating glutamate receptors.

Symptoms of E. coli infection Shiga toxin–producing E. coli (STEC) cause approximately 100,000 illnesses, 3,000 hospitalizations, and 90 deaths annually in the United States. [39, 54] As noted, most reported STEC infections in the United States are caused by E. coli O157:H7, with an estimated 73,000 cases occurring each year. [39] According to the CDC: Non-O157 STEC bacteria also are important causes of diarrheal illness in the United States; at least 150 STEC serotypes have been associated with outbreaks and sporadic illness.
