Background: Diarrhoeagenic verotoxin producing non-O157 (VTEC) are associated with endemic infantile diarrhoea-causing morbidity and mortality worldwide. VTEC can also cause severe illness and has an impact on outbreaks, especially in developing countries. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and characterisation of VTEC and their association in causing infectious diarrhoea among Malaysian children.

The role of wildlife in the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance is unclear. Raccoons in North America can carry a variety of enteric bacteria, with associated antimicrobial resistance, that could infect humans and livestock. The potential for raccoons to carry these bacteria in Europe, where they are an invasive species, has not been explored.

Abstract: Verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC; also known as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli) is a significant cause of foodborne illnesses around the world. Due to the serological and genomic diversity of VTEC, methods of detection for VTEC in food samples require detection of verotoxin or its gene vt (also known as stx).

Typical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (STEC-HUS), caused by Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), is a serious, life-threating disease that mainly affects children. Bacteriological and genetic tests are commonly used in the routine laboratory diagnosis of STEC-HUS; however, serological methods have emerged as useful and reliable diagnostic tools, especially when bacterial isolation fails. In this study, we present the results of the serological investigation of 72 paediatric patients suspected for HUS, hospitalized during 2011-2019 at the Department of Pediatrics and Nephrology of Children's Hospitals in Poland.
