Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections pose a significant public health challenge, characterized by severe complications including hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) due to Shiga toxin (Stx) production. Current therapeutic approaches encounter a critical limitation, as conventional antibiotic treatment is contraindicated due to its propensity to trigger bacterial SOS response and subsequently enhance Stx production, which increases the likelihood of developing HUS in antibiotic-treated patients. The lack of effective, safe therapeutic options has created an urgent need for alternative treatment strategies for STEC infections.

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is one of the major pathogens responsible for severe foodborne infections, and the common serotypes include E. coli O157, O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145. Vaccination has the potential to prevent STEC infections, but no licensed vaccines are available to provide protection against multiple STEC infections.

Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma can be used to control food spoilage and food pathogens. However, DBD plasma may induce sublethal injury in microorganisms, constituting a considerable risk to food safety. This research was designed to investigate the sublethal injury and recovery of Escherichia coli O157:H7 after DBD plasma treatment.
