Shiga toxin-induced haemolytic uraemic syndrome and the role of antibiotics: a global overview
2019, Journal of InfectionCitation Excerpt :It did however prolong pathogen excretion in stool and may have increased the number of carriers. Ten studies, including five of those already mentioned, concluded that antibiotics increase the risk of HUS.8,38,39,49,51,52,54–57 Carter et al.54 reported an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 colitis in a nursing home.

2015, Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and InfectionCitation Excerpt :Serum levels in control mice at 12 hours and 16 hours were significantly higher than those in mice repeatedly administered bovine immune colostral antibody. VT2 derived from E. coli O157:H7 in the intestine is known to induce serious complications, including HUS and brain damage, in patients infected with E. coli O157:H7.12–15 In infection models, mice showing intestinal bleeding died, but those not showing intestinal bleeding did not die.9,11

2014, VaccineCitation Excerpt :HC and HUS are caused by shiga-like toxins (Stxs), which are released by colonizing EHEC into the systemic circulation and induce endothelial damage in intestinal and renal vasculatures [4]. Several studies have linked antibiotic therapy to higher rates of HUS development and prolonged duration of the symptomatic disease, probably due to the excessive release of Stxs upon bacterial lysis [3,5–7]. Therefore, current disease intervention strategies are rather focusing on vaccination.
