Methods of synthesizing materials for hard contact lenses were developed by hydrolysis and
condensation of an epoxide substituted alkoxysilane and Ti-alkoxides. To enforce sufficient …

In this study, we determined the nucleotide sequence of the 5.4-kb SalI restriction fragment
of the recombinant plasmid pEO40-1, cloned from the large plasmid of enterohemorrhagic …

Alkoxysilanes are used as starting materials for network formers in the sol-gel process.
Substitution of an SiO-bond by an SiC-bond allows the introduction of organic radicals into a …

In this review, we focus on a group of mobile genetic elements designated pathogenicity
islands (PAI). These elements play a pivotal role in the virulence of bacterial pathogens of …

Shiga toxins (Stx) represent a group of bacterial toxins that are involved in human and
animal disease. Stx are mainly produced by Escherichia coli isolated from human and non-human …

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) have been identified as a worldwide cause of
serious human gastrointestinal disease and the life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome…

In this study, we identified and characterized a novel secreted protein, the extracellular serine
protease EspP, which is encoded by the large plasmid of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia …

We have isolated Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains from the feces
of feral pigeons which contained a new Stx2 variant gene designatedstx 2f . This gene is …

In this study, we determined the sequence of the EcoRI-PstI fragment of the plasmid
pCVD432, also termed the enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAggEC) probe. A primer pair …

A gene coding for a catalase-peroxidase activity was identified on a 9·7 kb Smal DNA
fragment derived from the large plasmid p0157 of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) …
